Warmly ripe, spicy-scented red cherry on the nose shifts to black cherry and dark chocolate in the mouth, with firm tannic structure and appetizing acidity. Shows a little more weight and ripeness than expected, likely attributable to the attractive 2015 vintage.
Opens with red cherry, light herbal and floral scents and appetizing, lightly bitter cherry flavours; medium weight and agreeable smoothness on the palate. Honest, straightforward Chianti to pair with everyday foods.
Full ruby. Ripe red fruits, some oaky notes and a floral touch. Tight and full-bodied, the grainy tannins are slightly bitter, balance is good but there is no harmony at this stage; it needs time to find itself. Leave it in the cellar for a few years.
This family has been growing grapes and making wine in the ancient vine-growing Campania since 1910. Certified organic and additive free, this is 100 percent Piedirosso from the limestone soil hillsides of Ponte, Sannio, between 200 to 400m. Time in stainless was employed to preserve the bright, red floral notes before tight raspberry, green herbal leaf and fine, gritty tannins to a crunchy finish. Youthful, lighter, authentic and rustic (in a good way), this is lovely red to crack with bitter greens, fired pizza.
Dark ruby. Discrete notes of sweet red fruits.Traces of CO2 enliven the attack. Half-bodied, light fruity taste. The powdery tannins are barely felt. Short compact finish. Ready to drink. Aglianico is a favourite grape from the south of Italy that can show more structure and aging potential than this particular example.
Deep purple-ruby in colour; spicy, ripe cherry bouquet with notes of cedar; medium- to full-bodied, dry, plum and cherry flavours; well-balanced with lively acidity and a firm finish, ending on a creamy vanilla note.
Full ruby. Cherry notes fill the glass. Sweet and sour in its light-bodied mid-palate, very fruity. Easy to drink but also richly flavoured and generous in its own way. Delicious.
