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: This wine was very dark in color. The smell was unpleasant as it smelled like nail polish remover or rubbing alcohol. The taste wasn't much better. I detected some oak flavor and it was very dry. I thought this wine was really bad by itself but I suspect that it may go better with food.
