Tormaresca Aglianico

Rated 88 – A four-square Aglianico, with spicy black fruit– almost raisin–and tense mineral character, with a hint of fresh leather. Medium-bodied, tight and firm. Quality wine, but needs bottle age. Best after 2007. 3,000 cases made.- Wine Spectator – Tormaresca Castel Del Monte Bocca Di Lupo 2003 750ml -

This wine has seen an astonishing series of vintages which have charmed with their style and personality. Radici, which was produced for the first time in 1986, is the result of painstaking research into exposure, chemical and physical characteristics of terroir, and topography. Its strong personality, dense structure, and aromatic concentration are the primary features of this prestigious symbol of Irpinian viticulture.Food pairingA fine accompaniment to roast meats and larger game (deer, wild boar, etc.), spiced dishes or truffle, and mature cheese. – Mastroberardino Taurasi Radici 2004 750ml – Taurasi

Cantine Del Notaio Aglianico

With a deep purple color with a touch of ruby, Repertorio reveals notes of primary fruit, with fresh cherry and strawberry on the nose, a prelude to this pleasantly rich, fruit-forward wine with hints of vanilla, white pepper and soft tannins. It is a great medium-bodied red to accompany any meal and to drink by the glass. 100% Aglianico grapes, macerated for 15 days on the skins. Aged for one year in second-passage barriques. Il Repertorio is soft and balanced after as little as one month in the bottle. – Cantine Del Notaio Aglianico Del Vulture Il Repertorio 2006 750ml -
