Grifalco is an excellent producer of Aglianico del Vulture owned by the Piccin family, who were originally wine producers in Tuscany but decided that southern Italy, Basilicata in particular, was more promising. Vulture is indisputably one of the best appellations in southern Italy. The standard 'Grifalco' is in the middle of their portfolio, and is the flagship wine of the estate. Sourcing grapes from four different vineyards, this bottling represents everything Aglianico del Vulture should be and is capable of. Juicy blackberry on the palate with a bit of licorice and wild herbs on the palate. Firm tannins on the finish.
