The 2012 Aglianico del Vulture Superiore Storico sees fruit sourced from ancient, head-pruned vines that grow in dusty volcanic soils. This is a mineral-driven wine that is dry and even slightly salty in taste. You might immediately think of a food pairing that has sweet cream or butter to counter the natural astringency of the wine. The bouquet shows dark fruit, cassis, flint and campfire ash.
