"The 2019 Aglianico Ischa Piana is distinctly savory, with a burst of wild herbs, spice and underbrush lifting to reveal bright blackberry fruit. This remains silky and pliant as mineral-laced black fruits swirl beneath an air of violet inner florals. It lingers long, leaving a licorice tinge and hints of fine tannins that frame the experience beautifully."

"A mid-weighted wine of immense character, showcasing the versatility of aglianico in the right hands. Fidelitous aromatics of dried tobacco, graphite, pithy black cherry and licorice root, strewn with wild herbs. Textbook aglianico. Not the most profound example, but expressive and built for immediate access. Exactly why it is the opening act, at a stellar address. Get it on the table! An everyday substitute for nebbiolo, with some southern warmth. Drink now."
