Nativ Bicento Irpinia Campi Taurasini 2018

This wine is intense and structured, as one would expect from 100% Aglianico. It's sourced from vines planted in 200-year-old vineyards in volcanic soils on the Campi Taurasini ('fields of Taurasi'). Though a thoroughly modern wine, ungrafted vines make this a rare, exciting vestige of a bygone era. Look for dark fruit, earth, spice, and a distinct volcanic minerality.[Luca Maroni tasting note not available.] Score - 98. (lucamaroni.com, 2023) 750 mL bottle
