Villa Matilde's 2006 Aglianico is made from vineyards in the Benevento district. This is a generous Aglianico loaded with ripe dark fruit, spices and sweet toasted oak. It reveals a finessed personality, with silky tannins, yet a degree of varietal expression seems missing. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2011.Villa Matilde is one of the most fascinating properties in Campania, an area with an oenological history that is among the oldest and richest in the world. The estate boasts several important terroirs in addition to a number of ancient clones of the region's indigenous varieties.Importer: Empson, USA, Alexandria, VA; tel. (703) 684-0900
