CANTINA SAN PAOLO) |
Deep intense purple colour. Very attractive, complex, intense, sandalwood-cedar nose with lots of ripe plum and key lime pie notes. Dry, medium-full bodied, fairly intense, well structured, harmonious, ripe plum-cherry flavours with a lingering, sandalwood-tinged, key lime pie-tinged finish. Has 13.5% alcohol and 5 g/L residual sugar. Terrific value - don’t miss it.

TASTING NOTE: This is a great example of how Aglianico can be firm and robust as well as lively and crisp. This wine is loaded with characteristic dark fruit, sour cherry and firm tannins, but then there's that rush of zesty acidity that keeps this all lithe and ageable. It's intense and grippy, but also approachable and drinkable. What a wine at this price! Enjoy this with grilled sausages. (Vintages panel, June 2018) |
