AGLIANICO 2021

S.C.Pannell AGLIANICO 2021

Often hailed as the Nebbiolo of the south, our Aglianico is bold yet elegant – a wine that transforms site into sensation. Perfumed tannins and a suave mouthfeel evoke the heart of southern Italy while remaining unmistakably Australian. A joyous vintage, with depth and poise in every glass.

The Vintage: Joyous! No stress in the vineyard with plenty of water and heat at the right time. An extended ripening period led to great flavour. The fruit was plentiful and perfectly ripe.

Tasting Note

Flavour

Italianicity with a McLaren Vale soul. Honest, humble, rustic perfume like well-worn leather, prunes on a branch in the sun, pepper and spice, chestnut and fruit coated with dark chocolate. The palate tastes of an ancient cultivar and transports you to the time of Augustus.

Texture

The classic example of a red variety with natural tannin grown in a warm place. The tannins have perfume and flavour. A suave mouthfeel reminds you of all the Italian things you admire. Strange to say but smells, tastes and feels like the embodiment of wine!

Goes With

Best served with a dish of ancient Mediterranean flavours - ' Lamb oyster chops in house marinade' from Meatsmith by Andrew McConnell & Troy Wheeler, served with a Greek
salad.

Cellaring

We have so much to learn but we do know it needs time in bottle before release and will be better served by five years in the cellar after release.
