D’Angelo Aglianico del Vulture 2019

Compact and fresh, this medium- to full-bodied red reveals macerated black raspberry fruit accented by notes of dried sage, graphite, fig cake and mineral, with firm, dusty tannins. Let this open in the glass or decant ahead of time. Best from 2023 through 2029. Smart Buys. Ranked #49 in Wine Spectator’s Top 100 Wines of 2022. Score – 91.
