The 2007 Aglianico del Vulture La Firma emerges from the glass with a heady array of smoke, grilled herbs, spices, ash, and dark jammy fruit. This is decidedly more intense and powerful than the Repertorio, but it delivers just as much finesse and balance. The integrity and harmony here are simply breathtaking. Once again, French oak is used with great skill. This full-throttle Aglianico is delicious today and is likely to get even better with another few years of bottle age. Fresh, floral notes ring out on the impeccable, classy finish. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2022.
This is a fabulous set of new releases from Cantina del Notaio, one of Basilicata’s leading estates. From top to bottom, these may very well be the finest wines I have ever tasted here.
