The IGT 2012 Canneto is a pure expression of Aglianico made in a spicier and smokier style. The wine ages in oak for 18 months and those savory notes have penetrated the fleshy and rich nature of the dark fruit on display. Cinnamon, clove and nutmeg appear in noticeable doses. That extra softness is very well suited to the natural astringency of this Southern Italian native variety. Aglianico's tannic structure definitely rears its head on the finish.
