Importer notes: "Grifalco is an excellent producer of Aglianico del Vulture owned by the Piccin family, who were originally wine producers in Tuscany but decided that southern Italy, Basilicata in particular, was more promising. I think they're right. Vulture is indisputably one of the best appellations in southern Italy, and I am delighted to represent this excellent producer. After a few years of vinifying all their vineyards separately, the Piccin’s decided to go forward with making a cru label just for the Ginestra vineyards. Much like with their Maschito site, they found the Ginestra grapes to be expressing an exceptionally clear view of that place. Exhibiting notes of ripe plum and red berry, violets, leather, and cinnamon. Smooth tannins support the robust fruit and spice, making this a perfect match for grilled ribeye or lamb chops. 6,000 bottles produced annually."
