Aglianico del Vulture DOC
Come si dice? Tap the speaker next to a name to hear it in Italian. AI voice.
No strip issued. I'm still hunting a bottle.
Basilicata's only wine that matters commercially, and one of the best values in Italian red. The DOC bottlings are released younger than the Superiore and drink earlier: black cherry, plum, dried oregano, a smoky, ashy volcanic note, bright acidity and medium-plus tannin that's firm without being harsh. Good producers make it in a fresher style now, so a five-year-old bottle is at a lovely stage. Pair with lamb or anything off a grill.
