Campania, Campania Red wine from Italy Drinking window: 2023 - 2027
The 2019 Aglianico Campole is spicy from the first tilt of the glass as a burst of crushed ashen stone combines with ground ginger, savory herbs and black currants. It’s silky-smooth and round on the palate with a brisk acidity that motivates its ripe blackberry and balsamic spice notes. The 2019 finishes unexpectedly fresh and focused, only gently tannic. Red plum traces slowly fade.
