Reserve Aglianico 2014
The Story:
Found almost exclusively in Southern Italy, we have been fortunate to contract Aglianico grapes from one of our California growers. After experimenting with Aglianico for the first time with this 2014 vintage, we have added local grower, Hoover Valley Vineyards, to our list of Aglianico sources. Look for our Texas Aglianico in 2 - 3 years!
The Tasting Notes:
This traditional Italian varietal is thought of as one of Italy’s top three wine grapes (along with Nebbiolo and Sangiovese). The 2014 Aglianico aromas include fall underbrush, cigar box and blackberry bramble. This well structured wine pairs beautifully with traditional Italian Soppressata and Texas Beef Brisket.
