Basilisco Crua Aglianico del Vulture Superiore DOCG, Basilikata Italien

Eric Guido: *The 2015 Aglianico del Vulture Superiore Cruà entices with a bright and delightful mix of crushed raspberries and clove, minty herbs, camphor and smoke. Its silky textures wash across the palate with ease, gaining a cool-toned feel through juicy acids and saline-tinged acidity, and a sexy core of ripe red fruits that all create a total sense of harmony. Sweet tannins frame the expression well, as notes of licorice and black cherry linger on and on and on. The 2015 may hail from a warm and dry year, but the balance here is otherworldly, making this vintage of Cruà extremely expressive today.* (Vinous.com - 08/2022)
