The 2016 Aglianico Memini from Guastaferro is especially spicy, displaying bright cherry with hints of white pepper and cumin, as smoky minerals and hints of dark earth evolve in the glass. On the palate, silky textures are contrasted by zesty acids, with cooling red fruits, giving way to hints of anise and inner florals. The finish is long, lightly structured, yet teeming with energy, as tart cherry and wild berry fruits linger with a buzz of residual acids.
