The 2004 Aglianico del Vulture Valle del Noce is a powerhouse. Dark fruit, game, earthiness, leather, licorice and spices are some of the nuances that emerge from the Valle del Noce. This massive, super-rich wine impresses for its depth and sheer richness. Some very slightly oxidative aromas emerge in the glass, highlighting this quirky wine’s distinctive personality. The Valle del Noce will appeal most to readers who prefer traditionally made wines. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2020. D’Angelo is one of the historic producers of Aglianico in Basilicata.
