Tasting-Carraia

NameCarraia
Variety: Aglianico

Region: Campagna
Country: Italy
Year: 2013 
Price:  Regular $15; Sale $9.95

Winery Review: Produced in the Campania region of Italy, this Aglianico has delicious black fruit flavors with hints of licorice, volcanic soil and tar notes. Classic in nature, yet in a lighter, more crowd-pleasing style, the Carraia is made of the ancient Aglianico grape. This black grape originated in Greece and today is widely grown in Basilicata and Campania.     
My Review: Deep burgundy in color. This has a nose of Ketchup, bug spray and dark berries. On the tongue I tasted pomegranate, blueberry. This wine was tannic and hard a dry tongue feel. 
Food?:  did not pair with food.
