Tagaro Nero Do Troia Pignataro 2015

Mouth of ripe dark fruit with some cherry pits and great spicyness. Integrated tannins, medium acidity and body.

In Campania and the northern part of Basilicata, winemakers have been finding success with the grape Aglianico (pronounced “ahl-YAH-nee-koe”). The slightly colder climate is ideal for this grape and produces wines that are garnet-colored with high tannins and acidity. Harsh when young, but after some aging they become elegant and complex, and reveal lovely plummy flavors with a hint of chocolate.
