The 2017 Sannio Aglianico is a mid-weight red that opens to a dark color and little transparency. This youthful expression put its primary intensity out there, pure and clear, with red cherry and dried raspberry. There are earthy notes of spice, black olive and grilled herb that give the wine a bit more volume at the back. Thanks to that freshness, this is a good pasta wine. Some 50,000 bottles were made.
