Basilisco Teodosio 2021 Aglianico del Vulture

Teodosio is an Aglianico del Vulture from Basilisco, matured for about ten months in second- and third-passage barriques. It is less compact than the producer's senior red, fragrant and consistently fresh, with depth that is never heavy. Dark ruby in colour, it shows cherry, plum, violet and wet earth on the nose. The palate is balanced and deep, structured yet easy to drink, and the finish is persistent, on dark tones. It suits dishes such as pasta alla genovese, wild boar ragù and roast lamb with herbs.
