The 2007 Aglianico del Vulture Il Repertorio is a fabulous, juicy Aglianico bursting with perfumed jammy fruit, dried flowers, minerals and herbs. The French oak lends volume and richness but the wood is beautifully integrated with the fruit. Soft and seamless through to the finish, the Repertorio offers superb balance and a long, supple finish. If given some time in the glass, the wine opens up beautifully. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2017.
This is a fabulous set of new releases from Cantina del Notaio, one of Basilicata’s leading estates. From top to bottom, these may very well be the finest wines I have ever tasted here.
