Not yet reviewed; 2008 vintage rated 90 points by Antonio Galloni (Wine Advocate): "The 2008 Aglianico del Vulture Terra di Vulcano is a gem. It reveals gorgeous textural richness that belies its elevage in stainless steel. There is plenty of varietal and regional character in this beautifully balanced, stylish Aglianico. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2014."

Producer notes: "Montepulciano 70%, Sangiovese 30%. Bright ruby color, lively, young yet intense, an aroma that evolves into a floral flavor, a full-bodied, fresh vinously creamy treat. Rosso Piceno combines the pleasures of the freshness, flavor and delightfulness of a youthful wine with the complex structure of a fuller red. It is dedicated to those who wish to savor the bouquet of an extraordinarily light, classic red wine that evades the seriousness of fuller-bodied, barrel-aged wines."

Big and robust with some Italian country roughness that makes it very food friendly. Spice, ripe black fruit and plum aromas carry through to the palate.

92 points Wine Spectator: "[$34 list] The dense, racy flavors of raspberry ganache are finely textured, with tobacco and pleasant herbal undertones. Powerful yet graceful, in need of decanting or short-term cellaring. Best from 2014 through 2020. (4/30/13)"
Producer notes: "A modern blend made primarily from the Carignano grape. First released in the 2002 vintage. Matured 18 months in French barrels and 6 months in bottle. Deep ruby in color, the wine offers intense aromas and flavors of black fruit, dry herbs and spice. It is full-bodied with a velvety texture and balanced tannins, ending in a lengthy, elegant finish."

93 points and 'Top 100 Wines of 2012,' Wine & Spirits: "[$34 list] If you’ve ever found yourself drawn to the scent of your neighbor’s grill when a steak sizzles over the coals, open this wine and tell me if it doesn’t have a similar appetite-inducing appeal. Grown in granitic soils and vinified without oak, it’s lean, the succulent red fruit essence hinting at beach rose, blackberries and underbrush, with the sort of spices usually reserved for a meat rub. This is delicious, a summer red to share with your next grilled steak. (Jun 2012)"
