Characteristics of Aglianico wine Cantine Russo Taurasi

Spalatrone Taurasi DOCG Aglianico 100% A medium purple red in the glass that gives just a hint of age. The nose is beautiful! I would swear this is a nice Bordeaux if blind tasting based on the nose. Dark, warm fruits with a touch of dried herbs and cedar elements. The palate is different, starting with great acidity that provides a slightly acidic red fruit that turns into green herbal notes. The finish is medium and cherry red. Interesting wine. I prefer the nose to the palate.
