2007 Aglianico
Our 2007 Aglianico follows in the footsteps of our well-regarded 2006. It has the same light fruity nose, a mid-palate that isn't quite as earthy as our Sangiovese (but still obviously a MV&W red wine...if you know what I mean), and a moderately dry finish with tannins that are noticeable, but not overwhelming (another MV&W trademark).

Aglianico Wine Information
A well-textured wine that has maintained a very light, playful cranberry nose. Noticeable, well-integrated tannins make this a fine wine with any meal, especially well-seasoned white meat (chicken or pork). While somewhat obscure in California, Aglianico is widely grown in the Basilicata region of Italy. Aglianico was considered to have been the best wine produced during the Roman Empire. A Gold Medal at the 2009 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition indicates it is a pretty good wine in modern day California as well.
