Shop Review: Vintage Cellar
"Produced in the Campania region of Italy, this Aglianico has delicious black fruit flavors with hints of licorice, volcanic soil, and tar notes. classic in nature, yet in a lighter, more crowd-pleasing style, the Carraia is made of the ancient Aglianico grape. This black grape originated in Greece and today is widely grown in Basilicata and Campania."

My Review: 
This wine smelled of plums and prunes. It was incredibly dry and left a peppery aftertaste in my mouth. This wine was definitely too dry for my personal liking. I did not taste this wine with food.
