Bocca di Lupo Aglianico 2021

The palate is refined with vibrant yet silky tannins. A lengthy and persistent finish delivers pleasant sensations of freshness and complexity. Bocca di Lupo reveals excellent aging potential. Aglianico can often taste too astringent because the grape is naturally high in tannins The winemaking team at Tenuta Bocca di Lupo removes the seeds by letting them fall to the bottom of the tank during pump-overs. This extra step achieves softer or more polymerized tannins in the finished wine. The 2021 Castel del Monte Aglianico is a gentle giant with dark fruit, grilled herb and dark spice. I could imagine lamb ribs on the grill as a delicious food match. The wine ends with drying tannins, but the effect is not bitter because plenty of dark fruit remains throughout.
