Bull by the Horns

Oh… Aglianico: how I love thee. And this is a BEAUTY. Not a trace of brick at 6, a nose packed with cinnamon and nutmeg and allspice, laid down on an earthy wonder quite astonishing and nearly unbelievable in its complexity and spicy balance. Strong cranberry and deep raspberry fly on smoky wings through both bouquet and palate, the latter a biting acidic fist of cling before bitter tannin seals…

On Italian Wine

Italy has the a long illustrious background in wine dating back to the Roman Empire and also the Ancient Greeks who implanted some temples in Sicily and other areas of Southern Italy such as; Calabria and Campania. The Romans with their far reaching Empire which stretched across Europe and to North Africa, planted vineyards in every corner of the domain, such as; France, Germany, Spain, and Croatia. Wine is as deeply rooted to the Italian lifestyle as pasta, pasta, Prosciutto, and Parmigiano. If it comes to wine there's absolutely no nation on Earth that can compare to Italy. When you look at wine maps of other significant wine producing states, you will observe that vineyards are planted in just a couple of regions here and there as far as the whole land mass is worried. Italy on the other hand has vines planted in the whole of the Nation, from Friuli in the North-East down into the toe of Calabria in the South-West and anyplace in-between, along with the enormous islands of Sardinia and Sicily. No matter where you go in Italy you will find grape vines growing. There is no country on the planet with such a multitude of grapes being cultivated, furthermore there is no country on Earth that has the diversity in wine styles and grape varieties grown. The amount of grape types is shocking as compared to other nations. Require the United States, France, and Australia for instance, three of the best wine producing countries in the world, regarding both quality and quantity. In Australia and the U.S. the Key grapes made are Chardonay, Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and Pinot Noir. Add to this a good amount of Reisling and Gamay, a little Cabernet Franc, Pinot Bianco, Petit Verdot, and Petit Syrah and a few different varieties and you've got the significant grapes grown in those countries. France cultivates these kinds and more, such as Muscadet, Grenache, Viognier, and Carrignan. No doubt they have a wonderful variety of fantastic wine produced in France. Wines whom I love, especially from the Rhone and Bordeaux but for most of the wonderful wines from France they can not come close to touching Italy in variety of styles and grape varieties. Italy, for my money, is Worlds Best! There are a number of grape varieties which are grown in Italy and no where else or in such minuscule amounts they are of no consequence. 1 instance, Nebbiolo, the lone grape which makes-up the famed Barolos and Barbarescos of all Peidmonte. Nebbiolo thrives mainly in Peidmonte and in Lombardia, but no place else in the world, although it's been grown in teeny levels in California and Virginia with mediocre results. In addition to being the single grape variety that makes up the famed Barolo's and Barbaresco's, Nebbiolo is the grape of Gattinara, Nebbiolo d' Alba, and several other wines of Peidmonte. Wines manufactured from Nebbiolo are wine world celebrities with producers like Angelo Gaja, Aldo Conterno, Giacomo Conterno, La Spinetta, and also the great Bruno Giacosa, to name just a small number of famous manufacturers who create the legendary Barolo's and Barbaresco's. Some other excellent varieties which are developed in Italy and nowhere else are grapes like Ruche, Negromano, Nero d' Avola, Ciliegielo, Monduese, and Picolit. Together with the native types, Italy has excellent examples of the Big Four of the Wine World; Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Syrah. With the enormous amount of native varieties together with the"Big Four" it makes for an unlimited number of fashions that may be made of single varietal wines or an endless range of wines which are proprietary blends by which Italy creates by far the greatest number in the world. For any wine drinker interested in exploring the endless assortment of interesting wines, using a never-ending kingdom of possibilities of flavor and styles, they need look no farther than Italy. It's the cover of the ladder, however, the sad fact is that for all the hundreds of millions of people who drink wine regularly, there are simply a small percentage that actually delve into the great depths of all that is available. The large majority of wine drinkers maintain drinking the same old things repeatedly, The Big Four, and when they do drink any Italian wines, most simply drink Pinot Grigio, Chianti, Brunello, Amarone, Valpolicella, and little else. This great peninsula has much to offer, it's mind boggling, wines such as; Barbera, Vermentino, Salice Salentino, Taurasi, Tocai, Aglianico d'Vulture, Greco d' Tufo, Fiano d' Avelino, Brachetto, Ripasso's, Friesa, and Nero d'Avola, simply to name a very few. Some of the famous renowned wines would be the excellent Barolo's and Barbaresco's, Vino Nobile, Brunello, Chianti, Amarone, plus a multitude of wonderful Super Tuscans. What is a Super Tuscan? Many people would ask. It is mysterious to many, precisely what they are. It is a question that's a bit difficult to explain, but I shall do just that. For more info click here

A Super Tuscan wine is usually a wine that's made from Tuscany, specifically DOC and DOCG zones in which wines like Chianti, Brunello, Morellino p Scansano, and Vino Nobile are created. To be known as Chianti, Brunello, or Vino Nobile, these wines must be created within the geographical boundaries of the specific DOC or DOCG zone, and they must be made according to the laws set by the Italian authorities, pertaining to the kind of grapes that could enter the specific wine, the amount of grapes which can be chosen per acre, prescribed quantities of time the wine must be aged in wood, and when the wine may be published for sale. Through the 1960's and into the 70's it is sad to say that Italy on a complete has been generating a lot of really poor excellent wine. They were going for quantity rather than quality. This trend was spawned by the Italian government itself. In the instance of Chianti for instance, the legislation to be followed for making this wine amounted to some recipe for creating wine. The governmental legislation permitted for high yields of grapes per acre (which isn't good for making great quality wines) and enabled the addition of up to 30% of Trebbiano, or as low as 5 percent in the blend. Chianti being a red wine and Trebbiano being a white varietal, this is an insane concept. So it was up to each individual producer in the Chianti zone, if they wanted to make smaller quantities of excellent quality wine or massive quantities of bad wine. You know that you did not need to place 30% white grapes in the mix if you did not want to, but if you did need to, by law, you could do it, and the wine capable as being Chianti. In the early 1970 there were several leaders in Tuscany that were appalled by what had been happening and decided to make great quality wines at the areas of Morellino in Bolgheri on the Tuscan shore and in the Chianti Clasico zone. These wines would be of fantastic quality. Because they had been made with Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc (non-native grapes of Tuscany, although Carminagno was made for more than 400 years using a proportion of Cabernet, at a small zone near Empoli) that they wouldn't qualify as any DOC or DOCG wines. So these new wines which where of the maximum quality would by law have to be labeled as IGT or Vino d e Tavolo wines, which is the smallest of the classifications. At the end didn't actually matter, because everyone who knew anything about wines understood they were fantastic. Therefore it had been Nicolo Incissa Rochetta who on the Tuscan coast in Bolgheri produced the first of the now quite famous Super Tuscan wines together with his Sassicia a mix of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Sngiovese which has been aged in small French Oak Barrels, rather than the large Slovenian Oak ones who were the standard for centuries. His cousin Piero Antinori shortly followed suit in The Chianti Classico zone with the both famous Tignanello, usually created with twenty to twenty-five percent Cabernet Sauvignon and roughly 75% Sangiovese aged in small barrique barrels also, although the very first classic in 1971 was made solely of Sangiovese. Wine critics recognized the quality of those wines instantly, and it was the British wine critics and writers who began calling these great unconventional wines of Tuscany,"Super Tuscans." The nickname caught on and it stuck to this day, although the title is unofficial and has never been recognized by the law makers in Italy. So, are you still confused? To break it down in simpler terms, a Super Tuscan is normally but not necessarily a wine that has 100% or a lesser percent in a blend the avocado varieties of Merlot, Cabernet Suavignon, Cabernet Franc, and occasionally Syrah. A Super Tuscan may also be produced solely of Sangiovese or a combination of Sangiovese and one or more of those other internaltional grape types. These wines are always aged for a good amount of time in barriques, which are little (225 liter) French Oak barrels. A Super Tuscan could be made of any of these varieties as a single mono varietal as is true with Masseto which is 100% Merlot or 100 percent Sangiovese as is true with Prunaio, I Sodi San Niccola, Sassolloro, along with Il Carbiannone from the fantastic winemaker Vitorio Fiore at Greve. A couple examples of Super Tuscan blended wines are Ornellia which is usually about 50% Cabernet Sauvignon and 50% Merlot, and the delicious Campaccio made with 75 percent Sangiovese and 25% Cabernet. Thus, now that the legislation regulating the make-up of Chianti have changed for the enhancement of this storied Italian wine, the quality has tremendously enhanced. I do not however agree with the new laws allowing small percentages of Merlot, Cabernet, or alternative French Vinifera from the mix or the fact that Chianti could be made solely with Sangivose. In keeping with the fantastic old tradition of Chianti, it must stay a blended wine dominated by largely Sangiovese having a small sum of a local secondary grape or grapes such as Cannaiolo or Colorino. This is a true Chianti! If you would like to make a wine with some of international varietals, then label the wine as a Super Tuscan not Chianti. I have to admit that Chianti and some of the Sangiovese established Super Tuscans are my favourite wine in the world, especially those of my good friends who make the most wonderful wines that you might ever want to drink. Wines like Prunaio and the Chianti's from Alessandro Landini, the owner of Fattoria Vitticio, Conti Sebastiano and Nicolo Cappone the aristocratic owners of the historical Villa Calcinaia in Greve. The Cappone's produce great Chianti, Grappa, luscious olive oil, and one of the best Vin Santo's I have ever seen. My friends, the Fiore family, with father Vittorio and sons Jyuri and Roberto, make the famous Il Carbonaionne at their vineyard Podere Scallette, high on a mountain at Greve that overlooks the Total Chianti Classico zone with Firenze in the north and Siena to the south. It's a spectacular view. Also in Greve is buddy Antonio in Vignamaggio, the estate where the worlds most famous painting, the Mona Lisa was painted by Leonardo di Vinci. At Vignamaggio, perfection nevertheless follows Da Vinci with the most superb wines possible, with one of Italy's biggest single varietal Cabernet Francs, the Super Tuscan"Obsession," along with the fantastic namesake wine"Mona Lisa," the property Chianti Classico Riserva. I am not stating that Chianti is the worlds finest wine, no, it's my personal favorite, not as large as Brunello, Amarone, or even any Super Tuscans, but for me, the ideal wine to drink with Italian food made by myself, my aunts, uncles, cousins, or among Italy's many terrific cooks. The Sangiovese grape which makes up the majority of the Chianti blend and is in part or whole of many Super Tuscans too as Vino Nobile and Brunello is certainly my favourite grape. It's not as powerful and rich as Cabernet or Merlot, but it will have a good amount of power and wonderful rustic qualities that give it perfect balance when made properly, making it an superb choice with several unique dishes the Italian cuisine. There is wonderful lure and background behind Chianti and the wine zone it is generated in, which many feel is the most amazing wine region in the world, with its beautiful rolling hills, filled with wondrous rows of grape vines, olive groves, castles, stone farm homes, and cypress trees that seem to dot the crest of virtually every hill. Other significant indigenous wines of Tuscany are Vernaccia, Vino Nobile, Morellino, Carmignano, and the highly exalted Brunello di Montalcino. The majority of the excellent native wines of Tuscany are reddish, it's reddish wine country, and the sole native white is Vernaccia in the gorgeous medieval hilltop town of towers, San Gimignano. There's a saying amongst lots of Italian guys. If you ask them if they are white or red wine drinkers? They will answer,"White wine? What is the point?" In other word. Why would you even consider drinking white wine whenever you have reddish which is so much better? To a stage, I really do agree with them as I drink red about 90 percent of the time, however there are lots of great wines on the planet, and they offer another wine drinking experience and possess some tastes and features such as certain mineral and floral qualities you don't get in reds. If your with a nice long serious meal, it is great to start the meal with a glass of white to get your palate jump began before moving on to a couple of reds. Variety is the spice of life. The white wines of Italy! Here again in my view, Italy gets the best, although I know many would disagree. I will stick by my guns. Many would say that White Burgundies are the best whites on the planet and that Burgundy is the greatest white wine producing region. Well I would concur number one which White Burgundies are the worlds best white wines, but although Burgundy produces the worlds best whites, it isn't the greatest white wine region on the planet, personally I'd give that honour to Friuli. Friuli produces a number of the worlds most outstanding white wines. The reason I believe that Friuli has the upper hand within Burgundy is easy. Yes I would say that White Burgundies will be the only biggest white wines, however they're of just 1 grape variety, Chardonnay. Friuli-Venezia Giulia on the other hand leaves white wines of the highest caliber as in Burgundy, but unlike Burgundy where the wines are just of one grape variety, the great wines of Friuli are created with quite a few lovely grape varieties. Varities such as Tocia, Sauvignon, Picolit, Riesling, Pinot Grigio, Pinot Bianco, Verduzza, Traminer, Chardonnay, and Muller Thurgau which are made in only varietals in different styles and in a variety of micro-climates to create wines that express the varietal character of each grape in a host of ways. Then there are the many proprietary blends like the prestigious wines of Sylvio Jermann who generates the famed Vintage Tunnina, Vinnaia, and Dreams, in addition to the great wines of Schiopetto, Livio Felluga, and a range of others. Considering all the unique single varietal wines created in a variety of styles and the endless possibilities of producing proprietary combinations, all these are the factors why I believe that Friuli-Venezia-Giulia is the worlds preeminent quality white wine producing region, even greater than Burgundy. The wine making area of Friuli would be to white wines, what Tuscany is to red wine, the best white wine producing region in the world, bar none! And these wines are now being coined"The Super Whites", the title matches. White Burgundy? The wine is made of everything? One-hundred percent chardonnay, a grape variety that's gained some disdain amongst many wine drinkers around the world. This is what happens when any grape or wine becomes overly popular. This was the case with Soave from the 70's, Chardonnay in the 90's, and today Merlot. As some say, "ABC". Anything-But-Chardonnay! If you want to be adventuresome and gain some unique wine knowledge that others around you'd need, delve into the fabulous collection of the unique wines of Southern Italy and avocado varieties such as Piedrossa, Negramano, Primitivo and Aglianico. Aglianco, which is considered the best red varietal of the southwest, comes chiefly in the areas of Campania and Basilicata, and are created in the single varietal wines, in addition to Aglianico being combined with Merlot, Cabernet, and or other blossoms. In Campania they grow other blossoms you will not find outside of Italy, like Piedirosso, Coda di Volpe, and Fiano, of which will be made among Italy's premier white wines, Fiano di Avellino. You will find lovely wines from Apulia produced from the primary grapes of Negramano and Primitivo that's the grape thought to function as the Genesis of Zinfandel. You'll see a nice array of wines coming from the island of Sardegna, from the snowy Vermentino's using their crisp fresh make-up of fragrant floral aromas and ripe fruit in the palate, to the great reds made of Cannonau and Monica, the Big Bold wines made with the native Carrignan to Cabernet Sauvignon which grows exceptionally well on the island also comprises 100% of the wonderful wine, Sella and Mosca"Marchese", along with the Vernaccia that is made in a sherry-like fashion, in addition to some outstanding desert wines created out of Malvasia and Moscato. Then last, but definitely not least in the south we have the wines from Sicily in which the wines have made great strides in quality and worldwide popularity in the last couple of years. "Duca Enrico" and"Rosso del Conte" both created from 100% Nero d'Avola where for quite a while, just two of Sicily's little roster of prestigious wines, along with few others. In the past couple of years, Sicily has seen a great boom concerning quality, notoriety, and earnings. The Planeta household of Sicily has been one of the major forces in the current trend of prestige and popularity of Sicilian wines. Planeta has sky-rocketed to a well deserved fame in a very short amount of timewith their enormous bold Merlot and Cabernet. In the past four decades their luscious chardonnay has been rated among the best 50 wines on the planet. The Planeta's also produce a fantastic wine created from Nero d'Avola and one from Syhrah in addition to the nice cheap red and white table wines Segreta. Another family who are very instrumental in the current surge of Sicilian wines, is that the Rallo household who've done a wonderful job with their winery of Donnafugata. Most famous of the Donnafugata wines, are the 100 percent Nero d'Avola based Mille un Notte.

Circling

My love for Aglianico is well-documented on these pages, but this is an odd, perhaps flawed wine. Fairly rosy garnet in the glass, with more prominent brick at the rim. A toe-jam sort of eucalyptus greets the nose, burying rotund fruit possibly suffering from slight oxidation, but the spicy vegetal masks all. Smelling quite un-fresh, the eucalyptus dominates all–and not in a good way. Decanted…
