From high-altitude, hillside vineyards with volcanic soil, this charming wine offers the power & structure expected of Aglianico, but in an appealing, balanced package bursting with notes of black fruits, earth, and hints of eucalyptus supported by grippy tannins that indicate aging potential.

Youthfully tense and tightly wound, the 2020 Aglianico Cinque Querce smolders up with an array of dried florals and ashen stone, lifted by a mentholated herbal tinge. This is showier within, with a polished wave of ripe black fruits and sweet spice contrasted by hints of sour citrus. Grippy tannins amass toward the close. The 2020 finishes structured and long, with a coating of primary concentration that adds further tension yet also promises many years of positive development.
