Terra dei Re 2005 Divinus Aglianico (Aglianico del Vulture)
- Cellar Selection
Divinus is a superrich and concentrated Aglianico from Basilicata that needs a few more years of cellar aging in order to soften those firm tannins. Even at this young age, it shows impressive aromas of smoke, ash, black fruit, leather and spicy cigar tobacco.
