Community Tasting Note

Thursday, November 25, 2010 - I'm sorry I opened this because I think it was way too young, but now I know. This is an archetypal "brooding" wine, and it smells and taste like volcanic soil in a powerful triumph of terroir. The wine is normally a blend of about 80% aglianico and 20% piedirosso to soften its mood a little. Rippling with notes of dark black fruits, tar, chocolate and that smoky, almost ashy volcanic backbone. Gripping tannins typical of the grape make you feel like someone just wired your jaw shut. Be interesting to see this in 10 or 15 years.
