(Please see notes on Terre Near Etna Blanco for an intro to my LOVE for volcano wine) If Nebbiolo is the Italian Red of the North, Aglianico is the Italian Red of the South! Grown on the side of Mt. Etna, this flagship bottle of the Piccin family whose daughter I had the honor of meeting in 2012 when I opened an Italian trattoria in Cincinnati. There’s magic in this bottle - it has structure like a Chianti, body like a Nebbiolo, but tannin like a Cabernet. If I’ve made you try this on a half price wine night, you’ve heard me talk about the surreal experience of running your tongue under your hard palate after three drinks and “feeling” the ash from the soils but there is absolutely no sediment to this at all. I’m totally blown away by this bottle and just love it for the quality that hasn’t changed since the first time I fell in love with it.
Great red meat pairing or heavy saucy pasta dishes.
