Carraia
Aglianico
$9.95 Sale Price
Campagna, Itlay
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: Right off the bat I could tell this wine was going to be full-bodied because of the color and the smell. It is a dark red, almost purple color, and smelled hot with hints of bitter candy and gasoline. First taste displayed a wide range of flavors that was overpowered by an earthy quality and a heavy, oily feeling it left behind. I did not like this wine.
