Musto Carmelitano "Maschitano Rosso" Aglianico

Winemaker Notes

Elisabetta & Luigi Musto Carmelitano are brother and sister and the current guardians of this small but passionate estate in the south of Italy. They have full dedication to mastering one single varietal - Aglianico. Their wines are an honest, pure expression of what top-notch Aglianico can be - beautiful, elegant and balanced, yet powerful and rustic. They use organic methods to complement Basilicata’s unique volcanic soils. For a grape that can have such power and structure, their wines have tremendous grace and finesse as well as a refreshing underlying minerality from the volcanic soils.

The Maschitano Rosso is a real show stopper! An intense nose of roasted plum, thyme, cherry liqueur and violet leads to pure finesse and elegance on the palate. Confident and rustic tannins add bite, whilst fresh, reviving acidity balance this wine. This wine is deep and complex, unveiling new layers of flavor over time in the glass and has a long finish, built around flavors of leathery spiced cherry and savory oregano.
