Palate
Dry and warm, full but elegant. The flavour is deep and fills the mouth, and it lasts.
Finish
Long, with a gentle note of liquorice.
Overall
A full, firm red from volcanic soil, with ripe dark fruit and a smooth finish. It ages well: the colour turns from ruby towards garnet with time.

DOC · Aglianico del Vulture
The disciplinare, the place, the label
01
DOC, DOCG, IGT: what the badges mean
Italian wine law sorts bottles into a pyramid. DOCG sits at the top: tightly drawn boundaries, prescribed grapes, mandatory ageing, government tasting before release. DOC is the same idea with looser thresholds. IGT (Indicazione Geografica Tipica) is broader still, requiring only that 85% of the grapes come from the named territory.
Aglianico del Vulture is in the DOC tier. That is not a quality verdict, it is a description of how much freedom the producer has at vinification and ageing.

Food Pairing
Tannin softening
Strong match
Roast meat and game
Aglianico has firm tannin. The protein in roast lamb, beef or venison softens it, and the dark fruit stands up to the meat.
Try with: Roast lamb, or slow-cooked wild boar
Body matching
Good match
Meat ragù and stews
A full-bodied red needs a dish of the same weight. A rich meat ragù, or a stew served with polenta, matches it.
Try with: Pasta with a slow-cooked meat ragù
Aromatic bridge
Fair match
Spiced dark chocolate
The producer suggests desserts made with spiced dark chocolate. The liquorice finish and dark fruit echo the cocoa.
Try with: A spiced dark chocolate cake
Drinking + cellar
Decanting
1 hour
A short splash decant softens the first-pour edge and opens the aromatics.
Serving temperature
16-18°C
Aim for the cooler end on a warm day; warmer end opens up more aromatics.
