Wine Description:
Basilisco Teodosio is a red wine from Basilicata, known for its Aglianico grape variety, celebrated for its distinctive character. Surprisingly soft and gentle on the nose, it presents aromas of red cherries, plums, sour cherries, and unripe blackberries. As it opens up in the glass, notes of black pepper, ground cumin, nutmeg, and cinnamon emerge. On the palate, this Basilisco wine impresses with a balanced medium body. Just when you start wondering about its unique character, pronounced tannins come forward, emphasizing a dry, slightly leafy finish. Despite its edges, this Southern Italian wine remains fresh and straightforward, with a strong backbone. Its slight roughness adds to its charm, leaving room for further development.
