La Capranera Aglianico 2018

Located within the boundaries of Campania’s Cilento National Park, the La Capranera project is named after the breed of local black-haired goats that roam the park’s environs. La Capranera respects the Cinento’s pristine environment by assiduously adhering to organic and biodynamic practices. An opaque black purple color, the winery’s Aglianico soars with fresh, juicy aromas of black plums, cassis, cinnamon, licorice, and menthol. Full-bodied yet deft on the palate, the wine layers the palate with impressions fresh blackberries, mulberries, and cloves. Notes of black olive, grilled herbs, and cured meat appear on the long, savory finish. Crafted to express the friendlier, more approachable side of Aglianico, the wine buffers the Aglianico’s plentiful tannins with dense, chewy fruit and a lovely sumptuous texture. Pair this delicious and affordable southern Italian Aglianico now and over the coming three years with grilled Portobello mushrooms, salumi, pastas with sun-dried tomatoes and pine nuts, or marinated eggplant preparations.
