Name: Carraia
Grape Variety: Aglianico
Region: Campagna
Country: Italy
Year: 2013
Price: $15....Sale $9.95
Cellar 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: Dark red color. Aromas of Ricola medicine and has subtle minty tones. A blend of medicine, black licorice, and a high level of tannins. It was my least favorite of the day.
