The estate’s 2007 Aglianico del Vulture Serpara impresses first and foremost for superb length and textural persistence. The aromas and flavors are nicely layered and delineated. If anything, the Serpara is almost too polished, as it places more emphasis on expression of fruit rather than the unique qualities of Aglianico from the Vulture. I also don’t find it meaningfully more complex than some of the estate’s entry-level offerings. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2019.
