"The 2022 Aglianico del Vulture Macarico opens with a savory herbal tinge as scents of crushed stone give way to dusty blackcurrants. It sweeps across the palate with ripe black fruits, olive tones and a salty mineral core. This tapers off with tremendous length and potency, leaving edgy tannins and lingering hints of tobacco."

"The 2021 Aglianico del Vulture Macarico is incredibly pretty, wafting up from the glass with a dark blend of exotic spice, dried violets, lavender and chalk dust. This is elegant and velvety upon entry, with polished red and black fruits underscored by saline minerals and a bitter balsamic tinge. The 2021 finishes with tension. It's structured yet still quite fresh as salted licorice nuances slowly fade. This is a stunning and beautifully balanced vintage from Macarico."
