Organic/Bio Aglianico is Campania’s most important red grape and examples from the Taurasi region show so much power, intensity, and cellar potential they’ve come to be called “the Barolo of the south.” Luigi Moio makes a pair of terrific Taurasi bottlings. But they sell for $150-$200 and need years to show their best. The Aglianico Terra d’Eclano gives a taste of Taurasi Aglianico magic at a much more attractive price and built to enjoy now (although it will certainly improve in cellar for the balance of the decade). Lovely intensity to the fruit and plenty of firm, but polished, power.
"The 2021 Terra D'Eclano is remarkably expressive, with a vivid blend of wild strawberries, violets, lavender and hints of wet stone. It sweeps across the palate, wildly fresh and lifted with crisp wild berry fruits and perfumed inner florals. Tactile mineral tones form toward the close. The 2021 finishes long and staining yet energetic, with a gentle tug of fine tannins and a nuance of sour citrus. Wow."
