The 2006 Aglianico Riserva Cappellaccio boasts gorgeous depth and tons of personality. Flowers, tobacco, sweet herbs and black fruit are all alive in the glass in this intense, full-bodied wine. Firm yet beautifully integrated tannins frame the fruit on the, powerful textured finish. The 2006 is simply striking. It is also quite young and headed for another decade or so of exceptional drinking. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2022. Rivera is one of the great estates in Italy. The estate excels with their reds, which are not only gorgeous in absolute terms, but also exceedingly fairly priced. Under the direction of proprietor Sebastiano de Corato, Rivera makes wines that capture the exuberance that Puglia is capable of, while maintaining a gorgeous sense of structure. Readers who want to discover the wines of Puglia would do well to start with Rivera. Importer: Bedford International, Larchmont, NY; tel. (914) 833-2725
