Here’s a wine that epitomizes the winemaking potential of Puglia, in southern Italy. This Aglianico, with a small percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon, is a vibrant ruby color and is bursting with ripe cherry, cigar box, black slate, resin and toast. It is a complex wine with a particularly succulent quality in the mouth that finishes with dusty tannins. ——M.L.(10/1/2006)—— 91
