Very balanced and clean, the 2013 Aglianico del Vulture Alto Vulture Macarico is a darkly saturated and rich wine to pair with stewed or barbecued meats. It offers dense concentration and an important bouquet that is guided by black currant, volcanic ash, pressed red rose petal and licorice root. Less evident are background notes of dark spice and clove. The mouthfeel is velvety and rich. This wine should evolve over the next ten years.
