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 Carria 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 had a more richer smell with hints of tobacco. The best descriptor would be a stale smell of an old man who had smoked for real. The label on the bottle was also pretty attractive and classic. When tasted it was super bitter with a sweet touch. The wine seemed to taste just like it smelled and they correlated. There was a tarte blueberry aftertaste. This wine seems to go bitter to sweet to sour. Not my favorite wine, and this was tasted without food.
