Tasting- Carraia Aglianico

Name:  Carraia 
Variety:  Aglianico
Region: Champanga
Country: Italy
Year: 2013
Price: $15

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.
