Winery Review: Produced in the Campania region of Italy, this Aglianico has delicious black fruit flavors with hints of licorice, volcanic soil and tar notes. Classic in nature, yet in a lighter, more crowd-pleasing style, the Carraia is made of the ancient Aglianico grape. This black grape originated in Greece and today is widely grown in Basilicata and Campania.
My Review: This wine tasted of ethanol and brandy. You could smell the alcohol very strongly on this wine. This wine also smelled lie licorice and dark fruits. The flavor was earthy, dirt like. Was a dry wine that tasted somewhat like leather.
