There's no mistaking the 2017 Aglianico del Vulture Terra di Vulcano from being from volcanic soils. The wine pours from the bottle with black intensity, and it offers rather dry aromas of cassis, black currant and dried plum, with smoke, tar and crushed granite at the back. The wine's delivery is straight, linear and tight. This is a great pairing partner to barbecued chicken made on an open flame. This wine offers great value with 35,000 bottles released.
