Ars Poetica Vulcano 2000
Vulcano takes its name from Mt. Vulture, the extinct volcano thatlooks over the Ars Poetica estate in Basilicata. Like Italy's other volcanoes, Etna and Vesuvio, the fertile foothills of Mt. Vulture have been renowned for viticulture for over two millenia.
The wine consists of 100% Aglianico and achieves all of the technical qualities for the D.O.C. Aglianico delVulture. Enologist Donato d'Angelo, however, prefers to categorize it as a red wine of Basilicata, due to its simple, straightforward style.
The grapes are cold-fermented in stainless steel tanks, aged for 6 months in large Slavonian oak, and at leastanother 6 months in the bottle.
For those who enjoy Ciro',Salice Salentino,and other Italian red wines, Vulcano will be a great discovery. Thiselegant dry red is carefully made in limited quantities. The 2000 vintage, for example, yielded only 1,000 cases.An intense ruby red color with a fruity, floral fragrance of cherries and violets.
A soft, dry,generous, ample taste and a lingering finish.
All sizes are 750mL unless otherwise noted.
