"Not your average, easy-going Aglianico, the 2018 Cinque Querce opens with a classic earth-driven, varietal bouquet of musky black currants and exotic spice. It,s cool-toned and racy, placing minerality before fruit, excited by a tinge of blood orange. Crunchy tannins linger, along with a dark inner floral thrust. Patience will be rewarded."
