Re Manferdi’s 2001 Aglianico del Vulture possesses superb depth and richness. This mid-weight, complex Aglianico reveals an exciting array of smoke, earthiness, leather, tobacco, mint and dark cherries in a style that is at times very generous, then turning almost weightless and classic. The level of nuance present in this wine makes me think that it will develop into an even more beautiful wine in the coming years. It is a terrific effort. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2021.
