Marco Tinessa, Aglianico Ognostro - 2010
Marco Tinessa, Aglianico Ognostro - 2010
Big and bold. Boozy black fruit and medicinal. Shockingly smooth tannins and fresh acidity that ends on big high notes. Dusty windswept Italian hillside, oregano and sage.
Marco grows Aglianico in astonishingly low yields and often harvests well into November. This allows him to develop good phenolic ripeness without compromising on Aglianico’s high natural acidity. Just like his mentor (Frank Cornelissen), Marco prefers fermentation not in oak, but in clay amphorae or high-density polyethylene tubs as to “prevent any influence on the wine and the terroir”.
2010 was Marco's third vintage, and we're thrilled with how the bottle age is changing the wine! The balsamic notes have arrived! Like the current vintage, the wine is intense yet elegant. But its the liveliness that's really impressive, Aglianico's acidity is no joke! Marco has balanced it all beautifully.
