Wine Review: Feudi di San Gregorio Rubrato Aglianico 2015

Feudi di San Gregorio Aglianico 2015

Founded in 1986, Feudi di San Gregorio is located in the tiny village of Sorbo Serpico near Mount  Vesuvius in Campania, Italy. I'm going to be reviewing two of their wines. The first is their 2015 Aglianico, which you're reading right now, and the second is their 2017 Falanghina, which will come out on Wednesday.

Aglianico was brought over from Turkey to Campania 2,500 years ago, so it's one of the most ancient grape varieties that we know of. After its arrival it would be an important part of southern Italy's wine and culture. Pliny the Elder even mentions it in his writings. If you'd like to learn more about Aglianico, and I suggest that you should, then check it out in probably my most classic blog post ever: The Adventures of Aglianico - A Complete History of an Ancient Wine.

Well this 100% Aglianico is from the Arpinia Aglianico DOC and grown between 1,000 to 1,600 feet above see level in soil that was originally ash and fallen pumice (Aglianico loooooves volcanic soil). The grapes were hand harvested, macerated and fermented in stainless steel vats for ten days at 79°F, aged in stainless steel for eight months, and then six months in the bottle. The final ABV is 13.5%.

Ida Maria, Fortress Round My HeartIt's been half a year since I did a music selection where I review to music and then hook you up with that music on my YouTube channel, so let me put on some headphones and let's do it! I'm still so wired from kicking ass at work all day that I just need something to calm me down, so I'm going with Ida Maria's Fortress Round My Heart. I don't know what it is, man, but her music just calms me. Her style and her voice are great and for some reason it makes me just... stop. I could listen to Going To Hell on a loop all night. Check her out on my music selection playlist.

Now wine! The color of the wine is a bright and beautiful ruby red. The nose is smokey and tarry with dried herbs and black currant. It's medium bodied with rich mouthfeel, high acidity, and structured tannin. A combination of red and black fruit are on the palate: black currant, plum, cherries, and strawberries. There's also some toffee and blood iron. Then it finishes with the acidity bringing tart cherries, while the tannins leave your tongue and inner-cheeks feeling like stone.

This is very good! Aglianico is my go-to alternative for Cabernet drinkers looking to try something different, and I would have no problems recommending this one for the price.

QUALITY VS PRICE RATING

  2. The internet used to be a safe haven to gather new knowledge in the comfort of your space until these scammers sprouted out of the blue like worms and made it unsafe. I am a country music lover, and Kenny Rogers is my idol. I can remember when a notification from Instagram popped on my screen, Guess who, my idol. I was awed and I can remember myself writing about all his impact in my life. I was so sure I was talking to my idol on Instagram. He did say he wanted to introduce me to this quick money-making scheme because he noticed I have been a loyal fan on his official IG page. My idol can never go wrong in my eyes and didn't even do any research. I hurriedly joined the scheme. I never knew it was a scammer posing as a celebrity till I had invested $540.000.00. It got worse when I couldn't access my account or withdraw from my investment, I knew there was a problem after all these happenings. I need to get help from any means to ensure I am not a victim of these parasites. I was glad to be able to be introduced to the best CRYPTOCURRENCY RECOVER EXPERT known as Spyhost Cyber Security Company. I talked to their representative and they assured me of recovering my stolen investment. And as they promised, they didn't disappoint as they were very confident in their expertise. My stolen investment was successfully recovered and they were the ones who confirmed to me that I was catfished. If by chance you are in same dilemma you can contact them through the following channels
