Aglianico del Vulture 'Sceg' 2019

Sceg, pronounced sheg in Italian, is the name for pomegranate in Arbëreshë, an old dialect spoken by Albanians who emigrated to southern Italy centuries ago. These old vines, 70+ years, are owned by friends of her grandfather, Generoso, and were at risk of going untended. Aged in tonneaux for twelve months, its bright and juicy with dark berry fruit, spice and dried herbs and the palate shows Vulture's classic minerality and grippy tannins.
