Rotondo Aglianico del Vulture DOC - Paternoster - Tommasi

Why the winemaker recommends Paternoster Aglianico del Vulture DOC Rotondo 

I love bottles of Aglianico del Vulture DOC Rotondo that have rested in the cellar for at least a decade because only beyond this limit are the tertiary characteristics appreciated. This historic cellar for Vulture produces this wine in the Rotondo area, practically a Cru. The top of the range remains the award-winning Don Anselmo. This Rotondo has a no-nonsense label, a sketch of the estate and the name with the year.
