"Rich aromas of violet, juniper, cherry, and blackberry burst forth on the nose. With moderate body, the juicy flavors of red cherry and blackberry are full-bodied and lively, and notes of tar and crushed rose emerge on the mid-palate. Yet, throughout the tasting, the bright berries and tart mineral notes remain consistent. The structure and balance of this wine make it enjoyable to drink now, but it will also hold up until 2028.” (Wine Enthusiast 2021)

About wine:

There is no mistaking the pure, mineral-rich, musky fruit of the Aglianico del Vulture that bursts forth from the 2018 Titolo. It is dark, with notes of violet and smoke that fill the glass. Its silky, supple textures send a polished wave of black fruit, tinged with minerals and savory exotic spices, rolling effortlessly across the palate, propelled by lively acidity. Firm tannins emerge, but the palate opens with a lingering salty touch, along with notes of licorice and lavender. The 2018 may not be Titolo’s longest-aging vintage, but this beauty will easily shine with medium-term aging.
