The 2009 L'Atto flows from the glass with layers of perfumed fruit. It shows lovely balance in an understated, feminine style of Aglianico that is immensely appealing, especially for near-term drinking. It, too, is an excellent value. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2014.
Cantine del Notaio is one of the leading estates in Basilicata. Consulting oenologist Luigi Moio shapes wines of extraordinary elegance and finesse.
