The dark ruby-colored, elegant 1997 Aglianico Vigneto Contado exhibits a supple texture in addition to smoke-infused black cherry and currant fruit intermixed with herb and earth notes. Round and concentrated, with a smooth finish, it should drink well for 3-4 years. This is an excellent value. A Leonardo Locascio Selection, Winebow, Hohokus, NJ; tel. (201) 445-0620
