Feudi di San Gregorio Fiano di Avellino 2009

I'm so into Fiano right now.

Feudi di San Gregorio Fiano di Avellino 2009

The aroma's are non-existent at the moment but after a while things start to open out. The texture is creamy but there is huge amounts of vibrancy and juiciness. The wine feels like it has no oak characters at all which is true after I read the info sheet. This wine spent the whole time in stainless steal tanks before bottling. The flavours are in the dried herbs and savoury stone fruits and orange skin, while the length is extreme and the enjoyment factor edging that way.

Vigne del Vulture Aglianico Pipoli DOC 2008

This wine originates from Campania, near the bottom of Italy, which is rich in music, food and wine, my three favourite relaxation activities in life.

This is a wine for those who want to be taken on a journey that leaves you satisfied and content while expanding your horizons.  To start with the wine tastes like tree bark, earth, English gardens, coco encased plums and spice's galore, then the mouth puckering tannins embalms your mouth.  It reminds me of a Nebbiolo but with a distinctive flavour spectrum.  A bargain at twice the price!
