"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."
