Presented in a big, heavy bottle, this wine fits its serious packaging in every sense: full, dark, dense and rich. The 2012 Aglianico del Vulture Il Sigillo offers fruit that is plump, chewy and dark. You really sink your teeth into this wine, an Aglianico worthy of the local lamb ribs, costolette di agnello alla lucana.

An appealing note of loamy earth on the nose transitions on the palate to underscore flavors of plum cake, creamed cherry and mocha in this minerally, full-bodied red. Dusty tannins lend a burly edge to the spiced finish. Drink now through 2027. 750 cases made, 150 cases imported.??–AN??Region: Italy / South / Basilicata / Aglianico del Vulture Select to Add
