There is a lot of tar and asphalt here that gives the 2017 Aglianico del Vulture Terre di Orazio a smoky and volcanic character. Highlights include dusty soil notes scattered around sensations of dried berry fruit. Otherwise, the vintage heat has flattened out much of the fruit. The overall effect is dry and very savory. I'd pair it with some Southern sausage and some grilled red peppers.
