Bisceglia Description
Gudarra is deep ruby-red in color with violet hues and enticing notes of red cherries, cassis, blackberries, and sweet spice. On the palate, balanced tannins and integrated alcohol make for an elegantly smooth wine that is truly to be enjoyed.
Pair this wine with roasted game, spicy tomato-based sauces, southern Italian pasta dishes, and slow-cooked beef stews.
Wine Advocate: 91 Points
Here's a dark and intense red wine from the deep south of Italy. The 2016 Aglianico del Vulture Gudarrà is an inky black and impenetrable expression with very linear aromas of black fruit, tar and campfire ash. Those aromas are delivered with immediate and sharply contained pulses that hit the palate in steady succession. Despite all that massive aromatic potential, the mouthfeel is more compact and even a bit shorter on the finish than you might expect. This is a good thing, because any more richness would be too much.
