Date tasted: 26 May, 2011
Where: Minneapolis
Price: $$$
Notes: 100% Aglianico di Taurasi grapes and aged 10 years, this is what red wine should be: subtle, long fruit (cherry, plum, gooseberry); balanced acidity and tannins through which notes of oak, leather, olive, even nuttiness play. This wine wields its power through structure, and so pairs with just about anything you'd put alongside a good red, from fish (we paired it with wild caught AK sockeye salmon) to lamb, cheese, chocolate, sex, waking up, breathing . . .
