Shop/Critic/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 impressions: Leather, dark fruit on the nose. Almost a musty flavor. I can't really describe it very well. I'm not familiar with this grape... Very good though!
