"The 2022 Aglianico del Vulture Macarico opens with a savory herbal tinge as scents of crushed stone give way to dusty blackcurrants. It sweeps across the palate with ripe black fruits, olive tones and a salty mineral core. This tapers off with tremendous length and potency, leaving edgy tannins and lingering hints of tobacco."
