Di Meo 2004 Don Generoso Aglianico (Irpinia)
- Cellar Selection
- $120
As its name implies, Don Generous doles out opulence and aromatic intensity, lingering long on the nose and palate. This is a smoky, masculine expression, with notes of lead pencil, slate, prune, cassis and spice. It delivers the essences of volcanic soil with dry and firm tannins at the back.

Di Meo 2004 Riserva Aglianico (Taurasi)
- $55
You can’t go wrong with a beautifully bold and structured red wine like this. Meant for cold winter nights and hearty meat dishes, this elegant Taurasi opens with luscious dark fruit, prune, spice and tobacco notes. The wine’s texture is fine and silky, with polished, dusty tannins.

Di Meo 2006 Riserva Aglianico (Taurasi)
- $58
Aglianico grapes make powerful and tightly structured red wines, but vintner Roberto Di Meo has tamed much of that massiveness and has produced an elegant, polished bottling instead. This shows a long aromatic evolution, with subtle tones of blackberry, prune, leather and spice that evolve with more time in the glass.

Di Meo 2000 Don Generoso Red (Irpinia)
- $65
This is deeply rich and concentrated, with notes of ripe fruit, tobacco, leather, spice, smoke and sweet black cherry. It’s soft and full on the palate with spice, clove flavors and firm tannins.

Di Meo 2000 T Aglianico (Taurasi)
- $32
Despite its seven years of age (two of which were spent in oak), this is a seemingly youthful wine with bright and lively fruity tones of berries, cherry soda or candy, red apple backed by a supporting cast of vanilla, cedar and roasted nuts. It offers chewy, firm tannins and good length on the finish.

Di Meo 2002 Colle dei Cerri Fiano (Fiano di Avellino)
- $26
This layered and elegant wine shows the aging potential of Fiano, one of Campania’s most important indigenous grapes. The nose is redolent of stone fruit, yellow melon, white mineral, flower and there’s a nice element of toast or nuttiness that adds fullness and smoothness. It is aged 12 months in barrique.

Di Meo 2005 Colle dei Cerri Fiano (Fiano di Avellino)
- $41
This wine delivers a deep and sophisticated personality, with creamy aromas of banana, caramel, pineapple, vanilla and butterscotch. It definitely shows a big, bold style.

Di Meo 2003 Alessandra Fiano (Fiano di Avellino)
- $24
This boasts brilliant clarity, purity and aromas of orange blossom, pear, melon and peach. It’s a tad flatter and creamier than other renditions of this native grape but nonetheless would make an idea match to fish, pasta salad or most chicken dishes.
