Cantina di Venosa Verbo Aglianico 2018

"The 2018 Aglianico del Vulture Verbo pulls you close to the glass with a mix of dusty dried flowers, blackberries and shavings of cedar. It’s silky-smooth and pliant, offering ripe black fruits and juicy acids that keep the experience lifted and spry. While it’s lightly structured, energy remains high throughout, as nuances of licorice mix with minerals through the long, balanced finale. This fun and vibrant Aglianico del Vulture overdelivers for its price point." —Vinous
