Basilisco 2013 Cruà (Aglianico del Vulture)

Country: Italy / Cruà
Variety: Aglianico Southern Italy
Winery: Basilisco / Aglianico del Vulture

This wine’s spiced plum, underbrush and French oak aromas waft out of the glass. The linear, ethereal palate offers prune, dried cherry and star anise flavors, set against austere, fine-grained tannins and bright acidity. It closes on an espresso note.
