Izway 'Mates' Aglianico

The palate is fresh, floral, and quietly structured, opening with violet lift, cranberry, and dark‑cherry skin carried by the crisp natural acidity that defines the 2022 vintage. A mid‑palate of subtle dark fruit, savoury herbs, and a whisper of BBQ‑smoke warmth adds depth without weight, while Aglianico’s natural tannin gives the wine a fine, chalky gripthat keeps it energetic and food‑friendly. The texture is light‑bodied but firm‑edged, with hints of earth, spice, and rocky minerality emerging as it opens. The finish is bright, savoury, and refreshing, tapering with red‑fruit skin, citrus‑tinged acidity, and a clean, dry snap.
