Paternoster Synthesi - Aglianico del Vulture - Red - 2018 :

 

The Noble Aglianico: Paternoster’s 'Synthesi' from Mount Vulture

The Aglianico Del Vulture “Synthesi” Red Paternoster is a distinguished Southern Italian red, hailing from the unique volcanic terroir surrounding the extinct Mount Vulture in Basilicata. This 'Synthesis' of grape and soil results in a wine of remarkable depth and balance. Aglianico is one of Italy’s most noble grapes, known for its powerful structure and longevity-a true cellar essential for enthusiasts seeking an alternative to premium Northern Italian reds.

Tasting Notes (Sommelier Review)

Displaying an intense ruby hue, the 'Synthesi' offers a complex and rewarding nose. Expect concentrated dark fruit-black cherry, blueberry, and plum-layered with the distinctive mineral character of volcanic earth, hints of sweet spice, pepper, and a touch of violet. The palate is dry, robust, and full of character, with a vibrant acid backbone and firm, fine-grained tannins. It’s a concentrated, savoury wine with a persistent finish that beautifully reflects its high-altitude, volcanic origins. An amazingly balanced wine at a modest 13% alcohol, according to critics.
