This strictly limited-edition Riserva is bottled only in the finest vintages. The bouquet is perfect and brooding, with notes of dried fruit, blackberries, white smoke and crushed stone. On the palate, it is wonderfully structured with precise balance and an almost weightless elegance, making it one of the finest red wines from southern Italy. Still intensely youthful, it has plenty of time ahead of it. SUPERIORE.DE

"Some dried sweet spices, ripe red fruits, dried fruits such as figs, and a savoury note. I enjoy the brightness and freshness on the palate, with a medium to full body and firm tannins that are beautifully integrated into the long, traditional finish." James Suckling

"A deep, dark, tightly meshed red, with a tenacious core of dense tannins wrapped in an aromatic range of medicinal herbs, macerated black raspberry, singed mandarin orange peel and bitter chocolate, plus an underlying streak of ashy mineral. Bright acidity animates the focused, fragrant profile though the firm finish, suggesting that this will shine brightest after cellaring." Wine Spectator

"The kaleidoscopic Aglianico del Vulture Superiore Riserva Titolo 2019 is stunningly beautiful and entices with a cascade of violets and lavender, giving way to pine shavings, incense and a core of crushed black cherries. It is very well-structured, with an abundance of mineral-driven red and black fruits flowing over a stream of pure velvet. The 2019 unfolds into itself on final, yet retains an exceptional freshness and ends with a pleasantly bitter hint of cocoa, whilst notes of tobacco fade away. This edition combines the majesty of the Titolo vineyard and its old vines with the magic of the 2019 vintage. Fantastic." Vinous
