Aglianico del Vulture DOC - Re Manfredi

The barrel-aged Re Manfredi Aglianico del Vulture from the Basilicata wine-growing region is a bright purple-red in the glass. If you hold the glass at a slight angle, you can see a transition in color towards garnet red at the edges of this barrel-aged wine. In the glass, this red wine from Re Manfredi presents aromas of blackcurrants, morello cherries, blueberries, plums and damsons, complemented by Mediterranean herbs, cocoa bean and vanilla. This wine impresses with its elegantly dry taste. It was bottled with exceptionally little residual sugar. As you would expect from a wine in the high quality wine range, this Italian naturally delights with the finest balance despite its dryness. Taste does not necessarily need a lot of residual sugar. The texture of this well-balanced red wine is wonderfully fleshy and dense on the palate. On the finish, this storable red wine from the Basilicata wine-growing region finally delights with its beautiful length. Once again, there are hints of blueberry and morello cherry.
