Castel San Lorenzo DOC

No strip issued. I'm still hunting a bottle.
An odd DOC in the hills behind Paestum where Barbera, brought in generations ago, is the main red grape. The reds are juicy and simple, with red cherry, plum, low tannin and high acidity, closer to a rustic Piedmont Barbera than to anything Campanian; the Moscato lambiccato is a sweet, grapey local specialty. Aglianicone, a distinct grape long confused with Aglianico, was added and is the most interesting thing here. Production is small and almost entirely through the local cooperative.

I'm still looking for a bottle of this.
If you make Castel San Lorenzo, import it, or know who does, the form takes two minutes and I reply to every one.
