Sassy Sasso Aglianico

[Innkeeper]

1995 Sasso Aglianico Del Vulture "Il Viola" ($9.99). Unless he has run out, have absolutely no idea why Roberto didn't include this in his recent e-mail on BBQ wine. Could best be described as a smokey syrah. Comes to the schnozzle and over the lips with plums and black cherries. Then come the smokey, earthy nuances across the palate, along with silky tannins. All ends with a triumphant finish. Married perfectly with mesquite smoked burgers with all the fixings. Highly recommended. Available, hopefully, from Wine Expo.
