Tenuta Le Querce 2005 Vigna della Corona Aglianico (Aglianico del Vulture)
- $86
Packaged in a massively heavy glass bottle, Vigna della Corona is an important expression of Aglianico that deftly sets a touch of oak-derived against black fruit and prune notes. Savory flavors of wild mushroom, tobacco and smoke give the wine a masculine, brawny personality.

Tenuta Le Querce 2000 Rosso di Costanza Aglianico (Aglianico del Vulture)
- $40
Stylish but bold. The nose is bruising but lively, with pepper, plum and overall punch. In the mouth, black cherry and raspberry fruit is both snappy and rich. A wine with personality. And it’s not fading.

Tenuta Le Querce 2007 Rosso di Costanza Aglianico (Aglianico del Vulture)
- $41
Definitely a standout in a crowd, Rosso di Costanza shows a broad, rustic personality, with bold tannins, a textured mouthfeel and intense aromas of ripe fruit and smoke. It’s not for everyone, but if you like power and muscle, this is for you.

Tenuta Le Querce 2009 Il Viola Aglianico (Aglianico del Vulture)
- $19
This opens with a jammy fruit aroma, led primarily by blackberry preserves and prune. The tight tannins give the wine composure and solid firmness on the finish.

Tenuta Le Querce 1999 Rosso di Costanza Red (Aglianico del Vulture)
- $26
With its powerful aromas of toast and caramel, lush but indistinct black fruit flavors and soft, ripe tannins framed by oak, this could be the poster child for the “international” style. It may not be the most individual or distinctive wine, but our panel enjoyed it for its sheer lusciousness and pure hedonism.

- Online Exclusive

Tenuta Le Querce 1999 Il Viola Red (Aglianico del Vulture)
- Best Buy
- $11
Smells a bit like fresh veggies—like a clean earthy or dusty character—but also of stone fruits like apricot and peach; aromas and flavors you might find in some Grenache-based wines from the southern Rhône. It’s round and full in the mouth, with gritty tannins that give a hard edge to the finish. Best Buy.

Tenuta Le Querce 2001 Il Viola Aglianico (Aglianico del Vulture)
- $18
Bulky fruit, leather and some overt wood manifesting itself as dry cheese comprise the bouquet. Plum, red currant and cherry tomato make for a tight, snappy palate. Lots of zip, although tannic and tight.
