An excellent value, the 2000 Falerno Rosso (made from 80% Aglianico and 20% Piedirosso) exhibits a French Rhone-like style in its deep black cherry and blackberry characteristics intermixed with notes of lavender, toasty French oak, underbrush, and spicy pepper. Dense, charming, and seductive, it can be enjoyed over the next 2-4 years. A Leonardo Locascio Selection, Winebow, Hohokus, NJ; tel. (201) 445-0620
