Wine Critic Review: "Produced in the Campania region of Italy, this Aglianico has delicious black fruit flavors with hints of licorice, volcanic soil and tar notes. Classic in nature, yet in a lighter, more crowd-pleasing style, the Carraia is made of the ancient Aglianico grape. This black grape originated in Greece and today is widely grown in Basilicata and Campania."

My review: This wine had a much darker burgundy red color. On the nose, I could smell hints of blackberry and cassis. The taste was peppery and had other combined flavors that I could not detect, but that I overall did not like. The alcohol level was also very prominent in the taste. I did not enjoy this wine.
This wine was not consumed with food.
