S.C.Pannell AGLIANICO 2022 (New Release)

The truly wonderous thing about great wine is that it speaks of where it comes from; that sense of having come from a discrete site or location, and capable of reflecting those characters in its shape and location.

As one of the top three Italian red varieties along with Nebbiolo and Sangiovese, Aglianico is often referred to as the Nebbiolo of the south. It has an ability to covert site specific nuances, yet always preserves its identity .

This is a perfect translation of our Olivers Road site.

Tasting Note

Flavour

IItalianicity with a McLaren Vale soul. Brine, iodine, seaweed, black cherry and the rustic perfume of old leather furniture. Blackberry liqueur, walking in foothills amongst dense vegetation, prunes on a branch in the sun, black pepper, graphite and dark cocoa in a tin cup. The palate tastes of an ancient cultivar and reminds us of a Beatnick reading Ginsberg.

Texture

The classic example of a red variety with natural tannin grown in a warm place. The tannins have perfume and flavour, are toasty and warm, polished and inegrated. The flavours combine with the tannins and give the wine a suculence. It reminds you all the Italian things you admire. Strange to say but smells, tastes and feels like the embodiment of wine!

Goes With

A rustic italian deserves a humble dish of Garganello with ragu Bolognese from tipo 00 Thepasta cookbook by Andreas Papadakis.

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.
