This Aglianico from the Cilento subregion of Campania seems to carry all the history of the historic wine-producing site from which it hails while shedding any unnecessary baggage that might weigh it down. The nose is dark fruit—blackberries and black currants—but also leaves and wild greens against the wood smoke of a late autumn lunch outside in the Italian countryside. The palate brings more macerated blackberries to that lush, receding fall landscape, with the dates and nuts and tobacco smoke of the end of the meal. It is poised ideally between ready to drink and prepared to mature for another decade.
