"The sculpted tannins and fresh acidity are tightly knit, with a core of aromatic tobacco, spice box, black and red currant, smoky mineral and graphite flavors. A firm and refined red that should open with short-term aging. Drink now through 2024. 25,000 cases made. âAN" |

"A medium-bodied aglianico, this wine's notes of roses and tea leaves last with juicy, anise-scented fruit. Thereâs something sanguine about its structure, ready to take on a steak seared rare." |
91 Pts Monica Larner - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate |
"Aged in barrique and tonneaux, the 2010 Aglianico del Vulture Arberesko is a very authentic expression of Aglianico with a rustic, untamed side. The wine shows great definition with dark fruit nuances, linearity and an impressive level of depth. Dark fruit, mineral, cola and leather blend together seamlessly. The tannins are very evident and will require a few more years of aging to better integrate. Arberesko is an austere and sharp expression of the grape." |
Description:
"Arberesko is the big brother to Siir. It refers to the name of the ancient Greek-Albanian population of the region who cultivated vines there in the 1400's. 100% Aglianico from older vines, this is the perfect example of why Aglianico is often referred to as the Barolo of the South. Generous in aromas of red berry fruit and stylish floral hints. Elegant but also gutsy and determined on the palate supported by sweet tannins and minerality deriving from the volcanic soils. Enjoy with hearty meat dishes, roasts, bbq and braised meat." - Importer
Winery:
"San Martino winery is a relatively young project, but it yields from years of experience and family passion.
In the 1980s Fabrizio and Cecilia Piccin were running a small winery in Tuscany. Their children were born there and grew up in the vineyards. When life in Tuscany became unbearable due to disagreements with their partners, they sold the property and decided to move to the Vulture area in search of ancient vineyards, pristine terroir and a more simple way of life. The noble Aglianico grape represented a fresh challenge and bore great potential.
In 2008, their son Lorenzo, just in his early 20's and freshly graduated from enology school, was able to acquire 7 hectares of vineyards from his parents and started his own project, which he called San Martino based on the 'contrada', that is the area where the vineyards are located at an altitude of approx 450/500 meters. The soil is volcanic, with clay and skeleton-rich. Vineyards are 10 to 30 years old and planting density is generally high (6000/8000 plants per hectar) which has historical roots in the Vulture area. Vines are grown organically and the winemaking is also based on letting the fruit speak for itself. Natural yeasts are used and the wines are not clarified. Siir and his big borther Arberesko are absolute beauties!
