Tasting Notes
Appealing aromas of rose petal and cinnamon-dusted strawberry round into flavors of cola and spice framed by a velvety and rich body.
Winemaker Notes
Aglianico is considered by many to be the star of the vineyards of the picturesque Campania and Basilicata regions in southern Italy. In these sun-drenched lands that so well represent the Mediterranean lifestyle, wine has been made for thousands of years. Over the years Aglianico has become known for its ability to produce a powerful and intense wine that still carries a balancing acidity. This delicious example comes almost entirely from the ideally situated Cruz Way Farms.
Food Pairing Notes
A great choice with the traditional Calzoni di pezzente e fagioli of Basilicata, a pasta stuffed with spicy salami and ham that is topped with Pecorino cheese.
