Villa Matilde Aglianico Rocca dei Leoni 2009

Campania, ItalySteep slopes, volcanic soil rich in phosphorus and potassium, and very old vines of Aglianico are at the heat of this wine. Look for floral, black plum, saddle leather, meaty, peppery nose with bits of black olive and licorice aromas. The palate is dry with light tannins, fresh acidity and more smoky, leather, prune, tobacco, cherry, resin and herb flavours. A country wine with flair.Tasted: 27 September 2013Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
