Community Tasting Note

Sunday, May 5, 2013 - Deep garnet color a bit hazy.
Intense and complex nose, 'lifted' in a sense, of minerals like graphite, rusty iron, ash and asphalt
which remind one the volcanic soils on which the grapes for this wine were grown. Also sleek leathery notes
and cassis fruit. Shows development but has potential for further evolution. As time passed aromas on the nose
became more and more Pauillac-like, revealing more cedar and pencil-shaving notes.
On the palate it is medium bodied, fluid-textured and intense with pronounced acidity and firm tannins. Savoury and mineral flavoured,
it is long and delicious. A complex wine with many years ahead of it. Unique in style and typical of the great Aglianico wines of Campania.
