The estate’s 2001 Aglianico del Vulture Riserva spent 18 months in cask. This sweet, full-bodied Aglianico shows terrific clarity and detail in its expression of black cherries and herbs with notable palate presence and a powerful, layered personality. The tannins finish fairly big, suggesting another year or two in bottle is needed for the wine to come together fully. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2021. Importer: Domaine Select, New York, NY; tel. (212) 279-0799

Aromas of spice cake, dark plum, black tea and dried red rose characterize this austere Aglianico del Vulture. The wine has impressive thickness and succulence but also offers ethereal notes of tar, resin and old spice. Pair it with lamb couscous or any meat dish with curry or cumin seasonings.——M.L.(10/1/2008)—— 91
