Michele Laluce Zimberno 2016 Aglianico del Vulture

Zimberno is an Aglianico del Vulture DOC from Michele Laluce, made from the 2016 vintage. Aglianico is at home in the Vulture, where the climate is continental, with very cold winters, hot summers and strong swings in temperature, and the soil is volcanic and very fertile. The wine is dark ruby. The nose offers red fruit, tobacco and vanilla, followed by volcanic minerality and a distant hint of citrus. The palate is dry, suave and unexpectedly fresh, with a velvety texture and very good balance, and a very long finish. It suits red meat main courses, such as roast rack of lamb.
