Tasting Notes

Big bold wine from a new producer. Typical varietal aromas of black cherry, plum, chocolate and balsam on the nose. The palate is dry and dusty with intense notes of forest fruits, subtle wood and a long, earthy finish. Sits somewhere between classic and modern, while maintaining the Vulture’s full bodied, masculine style.

Tasting Notes

An impressively rich Aglianico with depth, concentration, and balance. The nose is still developing, but notes of black cherry are already emerging alongside gentle hints of vanilla and sweet spice. The tannins are powerful and dry, the finish a prolonged surge of baked black fruit. Lovely wine with a long life ahead of it. Another bold wine receiving the benefit of Fabio Mecca’s consultancy.
