Terredora Aglianico 2008 Campania IGT

Variety: Aglianico
Country of origin: Italy
Wine appellation: Campania
Vintage: 2008
Alcohol content: 13.0%
Color: medium red with garnet meniscus
Bouquet: initially slightly restrained, but opened very nicely on the second day, sour cherries, spices, blackberries
Taste: medium body, austere profile, massive wild sour cherries, good acidity, spices, some meaty components,  nice higher mouth drying tannins, longer finish
Recommended food pairing: steak
Overall score: 4+7+12+7+7=87
Price: CZK 269
Stopper: single piece cork
Very dry, quite rustic wine. I like the tannins but I miss slightly the elegance, which probably is not the characteristic of Aglianico grapes.
