Vinorandum rated wines made from Aglianico


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 “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
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
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
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.”

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 “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
