Description
Winemaker Notes
The wine is deep purple in color with smoky, earthy aromas and seductive hints of tobacco and graphite. Notes of ripe black cherries, cassis, tobacco and leather come through on the palate of this big-structured, full-bodied wine.
This iconic wine pairs beautifully with Italian or French pot roasts, filet mignon or aged cuts of beef.
Blend: 80% Aglianico, 20% Piedirosso
Critical Acclaim

James Suckling
Lots of blackberry, dark-chocolate and sweet-tobacco-leaf character on the nose. Fruit and plenty of licorice to boot. This continues to evolve in the class. Full body, round and velvety tannins and a juicy finish. More approachable than many vintages. Drink now.
