Dark and initially a little brooding, Sceg shimmers from the glass with a rich and earthy blend of plum sauce, brown spices and crushed autumn leaves. The wine is silky smooth and balanced by vibrant acidity, while a contrasting wave of black fruit with citrus flavours washes over the senses. Smoky nuances and hints of ash resonate. Nevertheless, it finishes remarkably fresh, leaving a subtle hint of mineral tannins that remind the Basilicata connoisseur that this is a young Aglianico in its purest form. The grapes for Sceg come from several small plots with old vines in Barile. SUPERIORE.DE

"Perfumed blackberries and sage mingle with crushed rocks and hints of olive tapenade as the 2023 Aglianico del Vulture Sceg evolves in the glass. It’s surprisingly soft and round with ripe wild berry fruits and nuances of citrus, all elevated by juicy acidity as sweet spice emerges toward the close. This combines structure with energy, finishing fresh, long and classically dry with a lingering tart berry concentration." Vinous
