The resulting wine is full-bodied, with intense aromas of dark fruit, spices, and tobacco. It has a rich and complex flavor profile, with firm tannins and a long finish. This wine is a perfect choice for those who appreciate bold and flavorful red wines with a distinct sense of place.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Tormaresca Aglianico Castel del Monte Bocca di Lupo 2012 is a deeply layered wine, with aromas of blackberry, blueberry, and touches of dried fig.On the palate, there is a medium body with a nice balance of ripe tannins, earthy notes, and spice. The finish is long and lingering, with a pleasant hint of dark chocolate. This is an excellent example of an Aglianico from the Castel del Monte Bocca di Lupo region.
