Terre del Principe’s 2010 Pallagrello Nero Ambruco is striking in its beauty. A large-scaled big wine, the Ambruco bursts from the glass with sweet, succulent black cherries, violets, mint and sage. Aging in French oak gives the wine much of its textural richness and volume. Sweet floral notes add lift on the silky, expressive finish. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2020. Terre del Principe is one of the most intriguing properties in Campania. The estate is among the wineries that are focusing on a handful of once-forgotten, ancient varieties that are today being rediscovered. This particular set of new releases is a bit uneven across the board, but when Terra del Principe gets it right, the wines are among the best in Campania, and Italy, for that matter.
