Feudi di San Gregorio, Visione, Irpinia, Campania, Italy 2022

This Aglianico is a standout class act. The fragrances – somewhere between honeydew melon and cherry blossom – are as mesmeric as strolling through an Italian fruit market as summer spreads beneath your feet. There’s a pleasantly sour structure that clings to the palate, delivering extra levels of zippy character – more towards cranberry rather than the initial direction of ripe strawberry. Much as I adore it, it is perhaps slightly pricey, but with a platter of Italian snacks, I’d find it almost impossible to resist.
