Made with grapes from 40-year-old vines, this vibrant Aglianico del Vulture is thick and dense with penetrating aromas of black slate, spice, peppercorn, smoked ham and stewed blackberry. The mouthfeel has a chewy, dense quality but ends with drying tannins.

As far as Aglianico del Vulture goes, Damaschito is a velvety, more approachable expression of this famously powerful and tannic wine from southern Italy. It delivers aromas of wet river stone, black fruit, cherry and dried currant.

Gricos is a less formal expression of Aglianico with evident berry notes followed by mature blackberry and spice. The wine close with tight tannins and a bright spot of acidity that would work next to pasta with meat sauce and grated cheese.

This vintage of Grifalco shows beautiful aromas of smoky spice backed by loads of black fruit and drying mineral. There’s a sweet element to the bouquet that recalls vanilla seed or cinnamon. The tannins are supertight so pair this wine with a sweet, fatty food such as aged cheese.
