Vinosia, Aglianico, Irpinia 2006

Saturated purple.

Vinturi - slightly odd nose lacks lift. Deep, stewed black fruit initially. More vibrant with air - fig paste, ash, sexy spice action.

Deep and seems a bit sweet (?), with strong acidity tamping down any textural expansiveness. This is a strange one. A definite sense of some residual sugar and a dis-jointed acid contribution. Interesting attempt to commercialize/modernize Aglianico. Unsuccessful. Grapey and stupid.
