Note di degustazione
Still quite a firm crimson – looks if anything more youthful than the 2012 Primitivo from the same stable. Real complexity on the nose. Some sweet dustiness on the front and some very dry fruit character on the back palate. Did these vines see any water at all?! Lovely nose but the palate is not comfortable even at six years old. I suspect this will always taste a bit too dried out. Shame. (JR)

The 2008 Aglianico Castel del Monte Bocca di Lupo is a serious red imbued with dark cherries, tobacco, earthiness, licorice and smoke, all of which flesh out beautifully on a mid-weight frame. Slightly rough contours typical of young Aglianico remain. This shows tons of varietal character all the way through to the powerful, intense yet harmonious finish. Another year or two in bottle will help the tannins soften a touch. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2018. Importer: Ste. Michelle Wine Estates, Woodinville, WA, tel. (425) 415-3738
