Antica Hirpinia Aglianico Irpinia 2004

[Colt45]

Another wine I've been drinking a bit of lately, and another grape I had been unfamiliar with.

Middleweight or slightly less in body. Predominantly red cherry in flavor. Bright but balanced

acidity, with lightly astringent tannins on the finish - the acidity acting as the main structural

component.

Nicely balanced and rather refreshing - almost giving the impression of being frizzante, but

is quite still. Overall, a very nice wine and a great value at U.S. $10. Worth a try if one were to

happen upon it in their travels.
