Tasting Notes: 100% Aglianico. Cherries and blackberries are perfectly blended with the soft notes of wood that give this wine the pleasantness typical of the area from which the grapes come. Fruity notes are mixed with the vanilla and mocha sensations coming from the aging, good palate, full body, and roundness giving this wine excellent drinkability.
