Score 89/100 · Drink 2013, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Apr 2009

Readers looking for a delicious Aglianico that won't break the bank need look no further than the 2006 Aglianico del Vulture Il Viola. Characteristic notes of game, leather, spices, plums and tar all come to life in this dark, brooding red. The wine offers tons of balance and harmony at this level. It is not to be missed.

Score 89/100 · Drink 2009-2011, Antonio Galloni, Wine Advocate, Apr 2009

Readers looking for a delicious Aglianico that won’t break the bank need look no further than the 2006 Aglianico del Vulture Il Viola. Characteristic notes of game, leather, spices, plums and tar all come to life in this dark, brooding red. The wine offers tons of balance and harmony at this level. It is not to be missed. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2011. Tenuta Le Querce makes a number of wines, but excels with Aglianico, the ancient variety that thrives in the hills of Basilicata. The entry-level Aglianico Il Viola is aged in stainless steel, while the estate’s top selections, Rosso di Costanza and Vigna della Corona, are aged in oak. Importer: Vias Imports, New York, NY; tel.
