The nose of this Aglianico Riserva from Southern Italy is redolent of Indian spice, sandalwood, church incense and potpourri. You'll also get perfumed fruit tones of cherry liqueur and candied fruit over a thick, chewy mouthfeel with a touch of sour cherry on the close.

Riserva Cappellaccio is a pure expression of Aglianico that has embraced the scorching heat of the 2003 vintage to deliver warm tones of jammy fruit, tar, asphalt, resin and natural spice. The wine is broad and chewy in the mouth.
