Vicus Irpinia Aglianico 2019

Vicus Irpinia Aglianico is appreciated for its rich, silky texture and deep, dense glow. It features hints of deep fruit and a note of forest floor, which some find exceptional. While one review highlights its exceptional quality, another notes these characteristics without further praise.

This Aglianico reveals a deep garnet hue, indicative of its robust character. On the nose, it offers an intricate bouquet of ripe black cherry and plum, interwoven with hints of dried herbs and a whisper of black pepper. The palate is full-bodied and structured, showcasing firm tannins and a vibrant acidity that speaks to its potential for aging. Layers of dark chocolate and earthy minerality unfold, leading to a long, savory finish. This wine exemplifies the classic intensity and depth of Irpinia, making it a compelling choice for those exploring the heights of Southern Italian reds.
