A meaty note of smoked bacon or bresaola opens the nose of this hearty Aglianico del Vulture. In the mouth, this wine offers bitterness, acidity and tannins in abundance, which suggests a pairing of succulent steak topped with melted blue cheese.

Here’s an elegant and powerful wine from the deep south of Italy that cries out for a pairing with succulent steak or an aged cheese such as pecorino. Despite its blunt power and firm tannins, the wine delivers pretty complexity in the form of black currant, prune, slate and tobacco aromas.

This is a gorgeous wine with elegant etchings of mineral, molasses, resin and dark berry fruit. It also has a soft side thanks to modern notes of vanilla and toasted espresso bean. The tannins are solid and unyielding, suggesting that the wine should be aged 3 to 5 more years in the bottle.

Here’s a soft, modern approach to Aglianico del Vulture that offers Christmas spice, vanilla, black pepper and bitter chocolate in generous quantities behind the wine’s natural fruit. It has thick, gritty tannins that need at least five more years of bottle aging before they unwind.
