Tenuta del Portale 'Palmenti' Aglianico del Vulture 2013

A magnificent and deeply rustic southern Italian red wine crafted from 100% Aglianico grown in rich volcanic soils. It bursts with perfumed aromas of sweet black fruits, earthy tobacco, and dark licorice over full, gritty, and exceptionally well-structured mineral tannins.

Food Pairing: Pairs flawlessly with slow-roasted lamb shanks, rich venison stews, wild boar ragù, or mature, savory hard cheeses.

91 Points - Wine Spectator

Medicinal herb and mandarin orange peel notes accent the dried strawberry and cranberry fruit in this firm, full-bodied red. Tightly-meshed and racy, shows a bright acidity, finishing with a streak of minerally iron and smoke details. Best from 2023 through 2028. 1,900 cases made, 730 cases imported.
