"An assertive, reductive style, featuring leafy aromas, subtle cassis and stony minerality, with a sulfurous, smoky depth. Smooth attack, complemented by velvety tannins, full body, crisp acidity and well-integrated structure. The polished finish shows restrained flavors. Drink or hold."

"Musky redcurrants meet orange peels and sweet herbs as the 2021 Irpinia Aglianico Vigna Quattro Confini opens in the glass. It's velvet-smooth and lifted, with cool-toned acidity elevating polished red and black fruits. The long finish leaves violet pastille notes and a gentle chewiness. The 2021 is ripe yet balanced."
