It's hard not to fall in love with the 2011 Aglianico del Vulture La Firma. This is a delicious expression from one of the lesser-known of Italy's great wine territories, the Vulture volcano in Basilicata, Southern Italy. The bouquet is seamless and beautifully elegant with dark fruit, ash, smoke, licorice and grilled herb. The 2011 vintage is absolutely spectacular in terms of aromas. They are immediate, upfront and intense. But Aglianico's nervous spirit comes through in the mouth where the wine shows tight tannins and a high level of astringency. This is one of the nicest Vulture wines I tasted this year but I'd suggest another five years to allow those tannins to soften.
