Aglianico del Vulture ‘Il Repertorio’ | Cantine del Notaio
About The Producer
Cantine del Notaio is one of the top estates in Basilicata. The company cellars are located in ancient tufo rock caves which run under the town of Rionero in Vulture. Notaio is named after the notary public profession and consequently the wines are named accordingly, 'Il Repertorio' meaning 'The Repetoire'
About The Wine
The grapes come from the same vineyards as those used for La Firma; however they are harvested earlier, in the second week of October. After a 15 day maceration the wine is transferred to the aging cellar - a series of natural volcanic tufo grottoes - maturing in second and third passage French oakbarriques for some 12 months.
Tasting Notes
A nose of dark cherry, chocolate and spice leads nicely into a full bodied and complex winter red. Lots of black fruit with hints of coffee and leather. Beautiful.

Thanks for this recommendation. Had it over Christmas with a carbonara. Really good.
