"The 2022 Aglianico del Vulture Macarico opens with a spice box bouquet of dried violets, crushed stone, incense and dried black cherries. It's elegant and pliant with velvety textures, ripe black fruits and complementary crisp mineral tones. The 2022 finishes structured but fresh with a chewy concentration. This is a balanced effort, but the wood's influence over the fruit detracts from the overall experience."

"The 2021 Aglianico del Vulture Macarico is incredibly pretty, wafting up from the glass with a dark blend of exotic spice, dried violets, lavender and chalk dust. This is elegant and velvety upon entry, with polished red and black fruits underscored by saline minerals and a bitter balsamic tinge. The 2021 finishes with tension. It's structured yet still quite fresh as salted licorice nuances slowly fade. This is a stunning and beautifully balanced vintage from Macarico."
