There are no US listings for this very special vintage of the Grifalcos value Aglianico offering. But it’s easily the quality of any village Barolo – but at half the price.
Vinous says:
The 2020 Aglianico del Vulture Superiore Gricos lifts from the glass with a pretty bouquet that mixes dusty rose with crushed blackberries and a spritz of blood orange. It’s silky and soothing upon the palate, with mineral tinged black fruits and inner violet florals that form toward the close. This finishes with a crunchy tannic grip, as residual acids maintain a marvellous fresh character.While the Gricios is normally intended towards more near term appeal, I can’t help that the 2020 would benefit from a number of years in the cellar.
As you can see from this review, this is a $25 Italian red of both rare nobility and rare complexity. Not to mention just incredibly rewarding with food.
