Robert Parker, Jr., The Wine Advocate:  "The 2006 Aglianico Beneventano is absolutely delicious in this vintage, not to mention a terrific value. This plump, juicy red offers plenty of varietal character in its dark cherries, herbs, leather and earthiness, with notable clarity and lovely overall balance. A forward, fruit-driven Aglianico, it is best enjoyed on the young side. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2012.

Vesevo is a terrific source for delicious wines made in a soft, silky style."  The Wine Advocate, April 2009.  For more on rating systems, click here.

Wired Note:  This wine pairs well with beef, lamb, sausage, game, especially when braised, grilled or stewed.  Also, try with savory and/or strongly-flavored cheese (Provolone or Gouda).  Perfect with spicy sausage pizza.
