From the Zonin family’s brand-new winery at Masseria Altemura—one of the most important wine investments made in Puglia in decades—comes this spicy, leathery expression of Aglianico. It delivers bold fruit and blackberry notes, with distant prune and tobacco accents. — (2/1/2013) —88

This is a thin and easygoing Aglianico with informal aromas of warm berries and Indian spice. Unlike other robust red wines from Puglia, this expression lacks the overt ripeness you sometimes find. Instead, you get sharp aromas of sour berry and underbrush. ——M.L.(12/1/2009)—— 86

Perfumed on the nose, with hints of truffle and mineral mingling easily with black cherry fruit. Tannins are soft, but the impression is one of taut minerality on the palate, as the flavors finish crisp and dusty, marked by hints of crushed stone. Drink now–2012, possibly longer.——W.E.(11/15/2007)—— 89
