Late-ripening Aglianico from the Vulture volcano in Basilicata does very nicely in the warmer vintages, such as 2015. The high elevations and cool summer breezes always keep this magical and little-known spot in Southern Italy much cooler than you would expect. The 2015 Aglianico del Vulture Arberesko offers a dark and brooding personality. The wine takes a little while to open, but once it does it becomes suddenly exuberant, opulent and redolent of chewy dark fruit.

There's a subtle ferrous edge to this focused red, accenting flavors of crushed blackberry, spice box, dried fig, hot stone and balsamic. A harmonious version, framed by supple tannins and bright acidity, with a lasting, herb-laced finish. Drink now through 2026. 2,083 cases made, 75 cases imported.??–AN??Region: Italy / South / Basilicata / Aglianico del Vulture Select to Add

Very soft and velvety, the 2013 Aglianico del Vulture Arberesko is executed in a palatable style that sees big fruit intensity and well managed tannins. Enticing tones of Morello cherry, tar, licorice, crushed stone and campfire ash come together to offer a united aromatic front. Lingering mineral tones give the wine a sense of sharpness and focus. This is a full-bodied expression that never goes overboard in terms of density or concentration.
