The 2022 Aglianico del Vulture SCEG blossoms in the glass with a dark blend of dried violets, crushed stones and citrus-tinged blackberries. This flows across the palate, savory yet cool-toned, with depths of dark red fruits and tactile minerality that settles in toward the close. It finishes grippy and long yet still fresh, leaving behind hints of tangerine and an air of tobacco and ash.

There's a sense of restraint to this fresh red, with notes of black raspberry, plum skin, singed orange peel and dried herbs tightly meshed with dense, fine tannins. Licorice, mineral and spice hints show on the finish, but this needs some time in the cellar to reveal its secrets. Best after 2027. 700 cases made, 500 cases imported.

Dried black fruit with some herbs and spices. Ripe but also juicy and fresh, with simple flavors and a tasty, lightly peppery finish. Slightly simple but quite well balanced. From organically grown grapes. Drink now.
