D’Angelo’s 2006 Aglianico del Vulture is a beautiful wine. This powerful seriously long Aglianico flows with red cherries, wild herbs and flowers, all of which come together on a sinewy, mid-weight frame. The tannins and structure can be deceptive here, but this has enough stuffing to stand up to a wide range of foods. It is a fabulous wine for the money. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2016.
D’Angelo is one of the historic producers of Aglianico in Basilicata.
