2019 Bocca di Lupo Aglianco

Dark and earthy from the first tilt of the glass, the 2019 Aglianico Bocca di Lupo smolders up with a blend of crushed ashen stone, blackberries, blood orange and smoke. It’s silky and elegant on the palate. Saline minerals underscore polished red and black fruits, all motivated by a core of brisk acidity. This tapers off with tremendous length and concentration. Regal tannins resonate as savory herbal nuances slowly fade. With such refinement, the 2019 is a fantastic example of Apulian Aglianico.
