The 2008 Aglianico del Vulture La Firma is a fat, opulent wine loaded with blackberry and blueberry jam, tar, spices and French oak. It shows tons of inner sweetness all the way through to the muscular finish. Hints of tar and smoke add to an impression of darkness. This will require patience, but it is a beautiful wine, although stylistically it is definitely on the rich side. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2028. Cantine del Notaio is one of the leading estates in Basilicata. Consulting oenologist Luigi Moio shapes wines of extraordinary elegance and finesse. Importer: Skurnik Wines, Syosset, NY; tel.
