"Bright deep red. A knockout nose combines strawberry, minerals, violet, leather and herbs. Rich, plush and spicy, offering a superb combination of ripeness and energy to its musky flavors of raspberry, grilled meat, minerals, leather and blood orange. Long on personality and fine-grained, but not at all candied or sweet. Aged roughly 24 months in French oak barriques."

"The 2015 Aglianico del Vulture Superiore Serpara shows much of that earthiness that you get in the regular Aglianico del Vulture (from the 2016 vintage) that I also reviewed here. However, this wine is more constructed and more contemporary, if you wish, with deeper layers of soft richness. Bold black fruit, plum and dried currant are followed by earthy tones, spice and that signature of volcanic ash you can always expect in wines from the Vulture in Southern Italy. Re Manfredi has created a very nice set of new releases."
