The Aglianico is the most
common dark variety grape in southern Italy. And I like it. The Cantina
Giardino’s, from old wineyards, I love it too.
It’s ruby, almost dark. The
smell sticks, fresh, full of fruit - a beautiful cherry, plum and blackberry -
and then embraces oregano and mediterranean sensations. Subsequently, mineral
and spicy progressions saturate the nose.
The palate is solid, full and
rich of minerality and fruit. A marked acidity and alive tannins, for a dry
sip, complex and high voltage taste. Very concentrated is a mineral presence
from volcanic stone, which rivals and prevails, harmonically, on the fruit.
Extreme balanced bottle briding elegance with high drinkability, despite the
14.5 percent alcohol, absolutely unnoticed.
The bottle, unfortunately,
ends fast, with long and tight aromatic persistence and returns of china,
tobacco, pepper and graphite.
A great drink, really
