Petilia Le Sepaie Irpinia Aglianico 2018The 2018 Le Sepaie is smoky and earthy in the glass, blending steeped plums and blackberries with grilled herbs and hints of camphor. It flows across the palate with lifted textures and crisp wild berry fruits, supported by a core of zesty acidity. The 2018 tapers off spicy and long, leaving a pleasantly bitter tinge and a frame of grippy tannins. ERIC GUIDO, Vinous
