Winery 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.
My Review: This wine had a dirty, earthy smell to it. After tasting it, I got flavors of blackberry, and firewood. It was a little to dark and full bodied for my liking.
