Dark depths of wood smoke, cedar box, incense, tobacco and plum sauce smolder up from the 2019 Campania Aglianico Puro Sangue R19. The palate is sleek and slender yet balanced throughout, with tart wild berry fruits and mineral tones propelled by a core of nervous acidity. Youthfully tense and endowed with a heroic structure, the 2019 finishes with a tart concentration of citrus and blackberries. There is a fantastic old-school feel to the Puro Sangue R19 as it holds its power in reserve for future exploration. (EG)

Notes

The 2019 Luigi Tecce "Puro Sangue" (R19) is a massive, soulful Aglianico from the high-altitude volcanic slopes of Taurasi. Formerly labeled as a Taurasi Riserva, Tecce now bottles it as "Campania Aglianico" to maintain his artisanal independence. The nose is dark and "umbilical," exploding with black plums, wild cherry, and violets layered over complex notes of asphalt, tobacco, and dried thyme. On the palate, it is a "rural masterpiece"—powerful and enveloping, balancing a dense, fleshy fruit core with the variety's signature searing acidity and "esuberante" (exuberant) tannins. The finish is disarmingly long and savory, marked by a balsamic and mineral depth. Aged in large chestnut and oak vats, "Puro Sangue" (Pure Blood) is a wine of raw elegance that captures the wild spirit of the Irpinia terroir.
