Name: Carraia Aglianico
Variety: Cortese
Year: 2013
Region: Campagna
Country: Italy
Price: $9.95
Winery Review: The Washington Post
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 Siein
Basilicata and Campania.
My Review: I did not have this with food. It tasted like my favorite boxed wine that is a red blend. It gives off a nice sour grape/sweet cherry combination with a hint of blackberry.
