Has come together very nicely. I agree with previous notes: sweet dark berries, some chocolate and a silky mouthfeel. Has the touch of a merlot-based BX. It stands up to Lasagne and Pizza, which I think is a rather rare virtue. It oxidized quite quickly in the glass, so decanting is not recommended. Quite a bargain. Is at a nice spot right now, but there is really no rush.

At first it was too sweet. After some time and definitely the next day, I liked it - showed some of its “Aglianico-ness”. It was nice to drink, simplex but true to the Aglianico variety.
No reason to buy again, fun to have an Aglianico from Molise, simple compared to a Basilicata Aglianico.

Not bad. Dark fruit with notes of dark chocolate and earth. Creamy texture but a bit sharp on the finish.

vin assez rond malgré une finale un brin sur le petit fruit acide. agréable.
