Opaque ruby red. Musky red berries and flowers on the nose, along with hints of milk chocolate and balsamic nuances. Sweet, sappy and appealing, in a rather open but extremely suave, practically seamless style. Offers outstanding balance of fruit, acidity and tannins. The finish is bright, energetic and offers sneaky flinty persistence. Marvelous Aglianico for drinking on the early side. (ID)
