The 2017 Aglianico del Vulture Synthesi offers aromas that are sharp and sudden with wild fruit, scorched earth and Indian furniture wax. The wine is streamlined and tight with rose petal, ash, pressed violets and volcanic stone. There is a touch of saltiness on the close of this lean-bodied red. This scorching-hot vintage falls flat compared to previous editions.

Mouthwatering acidity and a subtly smoky, minerally underpinning focus the rich notes of plumped cherry, red licorice, coffee liqueur and orange peel in this harmonious, medium- to full-bodied red. Light, taut tannins firm the spiced finish. Drink now through 2027. 2,916 cases made, 300 cases imported.??–AN??Region: Italy / South / Basilicata / Aglianico del Vulture Select to Add
