The 2009 Aglianico del Taburno Apollo shows floral and rose characteristics in front of dark cherry fruit, Spanish cedar and crushed mineral. This food-friendly red delivers a medium body and a simple, one-dimensional finish. Fruit comes from a relatively high-altitude vineyard (400 meters above sea level) that enjoys steep shifts between day and nighttime temperatures. It ages in barrique for six months followed by another six months in bottle.
