Fattoria La Rivolta

Aglianico is Italy’s southern king, no question. A big red shaped by volcanic soil and long, sun-soaked seasons. It comes in warm and generous with dark fruit, a hint of smoke, and a solid backbone. There’s bright acidity underneath that keeps everything fresh, and while the tannins are firm, they feel grounding rather than aggressive.

"The nose features floral, saline aromas of peonies, plum skin, tea leaf and citrus, and on the palate those notes all reappear and receive a lift from an emergent blackberry element to more than hold their own against industrious acid and tannins." — Danielle Callegari, Wine Enthusiast
