Quintodecimo Aglianico Terra d'Eclano 2022
DOZEN: $1,782.00 or $148.50 each
The 2022 Aglianico Terra d'Eclano is impossible to ignore, with a seductive burst of black raspberries combining with cedar spice box and violet pastille. Silken and serene, it sweeps across the palate with ripe red and blue fruit complemented by nuances of sweet mint and lavender. Hints of blood orange mix with dried rosemary and a bitter cacao tinge as this tapers off long and gently tannic. The 2022 turns the pleasure dial to the max while maintaining remarkable balance. Bravo. ERIC GUIDO
The Quintodecimo 2022 Irpinia Aglianico Terra d'Eclano focuses on this important red grape but offers a more immediate and fruit-forward approach overall (with less evident oak). This is the direction many neighboring wineries are taking, and it makes the best sense overall, especially as we face climate change challenges. This is a deliciously ripe and full-bodied expression with dark fruit, plum and velvety intensity. It graciously does not show the dried-out or brittle tannins that you sometimes get today in Taurasi. This expression shows vitality and energy. MONICA LARNER
