POWERFUL REDS Paternoster Don Anselmo 2013

This aglianico-based wine from Mount Vulture in Basilicata, one of Italy’s least wealthy regions, grumbles softly about the volcanic soils of its home. Smoky folds of leather become increasingly truffly, indulgent and mouthcoating, seeping into every corner of the brain with a maroon-fruited richness.
