Madonna Delle Grazie Liscone Aglianico Del Vulture

Vintage: 2018
Description: Organically Farmed. 100% Aglianico. This is an archetype for Aglianico, especially grown on the truly volcanic soils from the Vulture volcano in the Basilicata region of Italy, which are said to be responsible for its "grit and power" when compared with other areas. Medium-full in body, with mouth-coating soft tannins and a solidly savory/umami character, calling out for some hearty, flavorful dishes including sausages off the grill. Brambly dark fruits, mineral (like ash & graphite), and spices (like white/black pepper & licorice root) are well-meshed, mingling as one at this stage. A great value for an authentic, rustic Italian wine. From 30-60 year old vines from Volcanic soils (no limestone), with different layers of volcanic clays and very few stones. No irrigation. Aging takes place in old, neutral 500 liter French oak barrels for one year and the another 3-4 years in stainless steel.
