About Liscone Aglianico del Vulture 750ML
Liscone Aglianico del Vulture opens with a brooding, complex nose of dark cherries, dried violets, and iron-tinged earth, reflecting the volcanic basalt soils of Monte Vulture. On the palate, it reveals a structured, muscular character with layers of black plum, tobacco leaf, and smoked leather underpinned by firm, grippy tannins and vibrant acidity. The wine's volcanic minerality cuts through the richness, lending a stony, almost ashy quality that is distinctly of its place. The finish is long, persistent, and warming, leaving behind echoes of dark fruit, licorice, and dried herbs.
