May well be Basilicata’s best wine with flinty, graphite notes derived from volcanic soils and loads of dried prunes, cassis, intense blackberry, leather and toast. The aromas go on and on and constantly evolve in your glass. Aged in barrique and Slovenian casks, the mouthfeel is solid yet smooth, powerful yet elegant. Imported by Vignaioli. ——M.L.(9/1/2005)—— 92
