Vinorandum rated wines made from Aglianico


Taurasi DOCG
Taurasi DOCG
Agricola Bellaria, Campania, Italy
2012
Aglianico (100%)
“With a bit of age to it this is an excellent wine. Impressive complexity with notes of forest fruits, chocolate, sweet spice, cedar and vanilla. Prominent oak influence on the palate, but tempered by choice and time. This is a well made, modern interpretation of Aglianico and Taurasi and one likely to find mass appeal.”
91 Paul Caputo
Aglianico del Taburno DOCG “Terre di Rivolta” Riserva
Aglianico del Taburno DOCG “Terre di Rivolta” Riserva
Fattoria La Rivolta, Campania, Italy
2015
Aglianico (100%)
“This Taburno focuses on power. Very international ripe style, with brooding black fruit compote on the nose. Bruising on the palate, dry and tannic on the finish. A little off balance, but widely appreciated. Very black fruit and sweet spice heavy. Delicious jammy finish bring forth a tidal wave of complexity in the aftertaste.”
91 Paul Caputo
Taurasi DOCG
Taurasi DOCG
Tenuta Scuotto, Campania, Italy
2018 2014
Aglianico (100%)
“A little bit closed on the nose still. Well structured, but on the light side. Not huge amounts of power or depth; it leans toward an earthier expression. Attractive and elegant though. Should evolve and open up a more in years to come. Balanced and restrained. Worth following its development.”
90 Paul Caputo
Taurasi DOCG
Taurasi DOCG
Donnachiara, Campania, Italy
2019 2017 2012
Aglianico (100%)
“Strong, powerful nose brooding with dark fruit. There are notes of blackberry and plum, then prune and balsam; it’s well structured with plenty of tannin and acidity and will continue to age well for another five to seven years. In the mouth there is power and depth, intense forest fruit encased in balanced oak. The finish is long and concentrated with suggestions of coffee, violets and black cherry.”
91 Paul Caputo
Taurasi DOCG Riserva
Taurasi DOCG Riserva
Vigne Guadagno, Campania, Italy
2017
Aglianico (100%)
“Attractive nose, subtle and restrained. Some fenugreek and spices. Black cherry. Intense, jammy, but not excessive. Nice and balanced. Typical varietal power. Lovely dusty finish. Strong and powerful but all in check.”
92 Paul Caputo
Taurasi DOCG
Taurasi DOCG
Sertura, Campania, Italy
2009
Aglianico (100%)
“Although tasting this with almost seven years of age to it, the 2009 clearly exuded the hallmarks of age worthy Aglianico. The nose was leathery with notes of bitter cherry and liquorice, while on the palate an austere backbone of acidity complimented soft, velvety tannins.”
87 Paul Caputo
Taurasi DOCG “Bosco Faiano”
Taurasi DOCG “Bosco Faiano”
I Capitani, Campania, Italy
2018
Aglianico (100%)
“Very juicy and forward. Still young of course, but abundant ripe black fruit prominent. This is an attractive jammy Aglianico which oozes dark berry compote. Long finish. Despite its youth it is already herby and complex. Forward and approachable. Not too dry.”
91 Paul Caputo
Taurasi DOCG “Puro Sangue” Riserva
Taurasi DOCG “Puro Sangue” Riserva
Luigi Tecce, Campania, Italy
2016 2014 2013
Aglianico (100%)
“Very attractive nose of berries, spices and ripe figs. Black fruit compote on the palate, with a firm, grippy tannic structure. Rustic, powerful, earthy. Outstanding wine caught at just the right moment.”
93 Paul Caputo
Taurasi DOCG “Fren”
Taurasi DOCG “Fren”
Stefania Barbot, Campania, Italy
2017 2016
Aglianico (100%)
“Beautifully perfumed Aglianico with balsam, liquorice, cherry and mint. Very light, elegant expression of Taurasi. Precise, with clean streaks of dark forest fruit and mineral energy on the palate. Lacks the power of some, but this is a soft and gentle interpretation with lifted acidity.”
91 Paul Caputo
Taurasi DOCG “Opera Mia”
Taurasi DOCG “Opera Mia”
Tenuta Cavalier Pepe, Campania, Italy
2016 2015 2013
Aglianico (100%)
“Seductive, ethereal nose of black cherry and ripe berries, some notes of plum and forest floor as well. In time eucalyptus emerges. On the palate there is more black fruit with with sweet spices and a touch of leather. Medium bodied wine, but well structured and well balanced. Only just beginning to soften so still quite a few years ahead of it.”
90 Paul Caputo
Taurasi DOCG “Poliphemo Vecchie Vigne” Riserva
Taurasi DOCG “Poliphemo Vecchie Vigne” Riserva
Luigi Tecce, Campania, Italy
2018 2014
Aglianico (100%)
“Seductive notes of black cherry and balsam, lifted by violet fragrance. Elegant, for Taurasi, yet with a confidence presence and the classic tannic grip of Aglianico. Will mature well. Medium bodied, grippy tannin, intriguingly dusty palate with a luscious finish of juicy black cherry fruit.”

2020 2017 2016 2015 2013
Aglianico (80%)Piedirosso (20%)
“Still very young, but with time in the glass it reveals a hedonistic nose of black fruit, sweet spice, liquorice, pepper and cedar wood. The palate is fleshy, plush, with dark berry and forest undergrowth flavours. It has a rustic, country charm to it, but balanced and stylish with a dry, floral finish.”

Costa d’Amalfi DOC “Furore” Riserva
Cantine Marisa Cuomo, Campania, Italy
2018 2017 2014
Aglianico (50%)Piedirosso (50%)
“Perfumed nose, showcasing delicate spices and crushed red berry. Very complex with notes of wild herb and blueberry too. Dry and structured on the palate, with more red fruit and spice. Outstanding. Finish is long, harmonious and notes of black cherry and sea salt.”
92 Paul Caputo
