NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Luigi Maffini Kleos Aglianico presents a rich and complex bouquet, featuring aromas of ripe black cherries, blackberries, and a hint of smoky minerals.On the palate, it is robust and full-bodied, with a core of dark fruit flavors like black plum and blueberry, complemented by nuances of licorice, earth, and a touch of vanilla from oak aging. The wine's robust structure is supported by firm tannins and a lively acidity, making it both powerful and graceful. The finish is long and memorable, with a lingering sensation of dark fruits and a subtle spiciness. This Aglianico is a perfect example of Luigi Maffini's skill in creating wines that are intense, yet elegant, and capable of aging beautifully.
