Tasting -- Carraia

Name: Carraia
Variety: Aglianico
Region: Campagna
Country: Italy
Year: 2013
Price: Regular $15/Sale $9.95

Wine Review: 
Produced in the Campania region of Italy, this Aglianico has delicious black fruit flavors with hints of licorice, volcanic soil and tar notes. Classic in nature, yet in a lighter, more crowd-pleasing style, the Carraia is made of the ancient Aglianico grape. This black grape originated in Greece and today is widely grown in Basilicata and Campania.


My Review: This smelled overwhelming of tobacco and cherry. I really enjoyed the smell. It had a dark taste, like black cherries. It was not high in tannins. I really enjoyed this wine. 


I did not have food with this wine.
