The 2006 Aglianico del Vulture Serpara is a rich, deeply-textured wine laced with dark red fruit, minerals, mint, game and flowers. Darker, smoky notes develop in the glass, adding further complexity and weight as the wine opens up over time. This dense, full-bodied Aglianico is the best wine I tasted from Re Manfredi this year. The Serpara can be enjoyed today for its fruit or cellared for at least a few years. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2018. Importer: Frederick Wildman and Sons Ltd, New York, NY; tel. (212) 355-0700
