The satisfying 2013 Aglianico del Vulture Synthesi reveals a steady and careful approach. The bouquet is not top-heavy with oak tones like some of the other wines in this category. The wine opts for a balanced delivery instead, with dark fruit, spice and volcanic ash shown in equal measure. This medium-bodied wine is heavily characterized by sour cherry and bright berry flavors backed by noticeable acidity. This is a near-term Aglianico del Vulture.

This is well-balanced and fresh, offering flavors of crushed plum and cherry fruit, with hints of dried thyme, graphite and smoke set in a medium-bodied frame. Drink now through 2020. 5,500 cases made, 200 cases imported.??–AN??Region: Italy / South / Basilicata / Aglianico del Vulture Select to Add
