Winery Review: 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: Strong nose with odors reminding me of a linen closet. Also some darker cherries and fruits on the nose. On the palate it was spicy and tasted like cherries and blackberries and it had a hot finish.
I did not try this wine with food.
