Tasting - AmRhein Aglianico


Name: AmRhein Aglianico
Variety: Aglianico
Region: Virginia
Country: USA
Year: N/A
Price: $20.95

Critic Review: A thick-skinned red grape grown by the ancient Greeks and brought to Italy over 2,000 years ago. This robust wine, now predominantly grown in Italy, displays berry and tobacco flavors with subtle plum undertones wrapped around a light French Oak structures.

My Review: This wine had a nice smokiness in both smell and taste.  This smokey flavor was followed by very dark berry flavors that I could not quite identify.  I think this complex wine would complement a heavy Itlalian dish quite well.

I did not taste this wine with food
