Tasting - Carraia Aglianico

Carraia
Aglianico
Campagna, Italy
2013
$9.95
Shop 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.
Color: Deep red
Smell: Blackberry, cherry, smokey
Taste: Very woody
Personal rating: The woody taste overpowers all of the other flavors of this wine for me.
