This cheerful Aglianico delivers intense fruit flavors and gritty, thick tannins. It has an easy, no-fuss approach and would pair well with pasta and meat sauce or grilled pork chops.——M.L.(5/1/2009)—— 87

This hearty Aglianico has a beautiful nose with aromas of ripe berry, black tea, molasses and spice. It’s an intriguing wine with dense black fruit, good personality and dimension. It tastes gritty and textured but ends with polished tannins.——M.L.(10/1/2008)—— 87
