Wine Store Review - Vintage Cellar
Produced in the Campania region of Italy, this Aglianico has delicious black fruit flavors with hints of licorice, volcanic soil and tar notes. Classic in nature, yet in a lighter, more crowd-pleasing style, the Carraia is made of the ancient Aglianico grape. This black grape originated in Greece and today is widely grown in Basilicata and Campania.
My Review - This wine smelled like prune and plum, also had an earthy, dirt scent too. It also had a hint of darker fruit like black currant. It was very strong on the palate, reminiscent of the darker fruits and just not ripe enough berries. It was pungent overall but had such a smooth finish. I did not try this wine with food.
