For the better part of a year we have been inundated with requests for an Italian wine for Thirsty Thursday, so here you go….
Bevendo Vino! 


91 Points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

“Here's a dark and intense red wine from the deep south of Italy.
The 2016 Aglianico del Vulture Gudarrà is an inky black and impenetrable expression with very linear aromas of black fruit, tar and campfire ash. Those aromas are delivered with immediate and sharply contained pulses that hit the palate in steady succession. Despite all that massive aromatic potential, the mouthfeel is more compact and even a bit shorter on the finish than you might expect. This is a good thing, because any more richness would be too much.”



Our Thoughts on this wine....
Gudarra is deep ruby-red in color with violet hues and enticing notes of red cherries, cassis, blackberries, and sweet spice. Medium to full bodied on the palate, balanced tannins with integrated alcohol make for an elegantly smooth wine that is truly to be enjoyed.
Nearby, the extinct volcano Mount Vulture influences the soil to this day providing  the complexity only found in the old world. Pair this wine with roasted chicken, spicy tomato-based sauces, southern Italian pasta dishes or any veal dish.

A bit about Bisceglia…..


The Bisceglia (pronounced: be-SHAYL-yah) estate is an important and dynamic winery offering a range of top-quality products. After many years in the corporate food industry, Mario Bisceglia returned to his land to begin this adventure and founded the estate in 2001. His goal is to continually produce world-class wines made with both indigenous and international varietals grown in the Basilicata region.

The Bisceglia estate is situated on the lower slopes of the extinct volcano, Mount Vulture, in the splendid district of Lavello.
This old farming community is officially recognized as “Wine Town” in the Basilicata region of Southern Italy.
The winery itself was designed by internationally acclaimed architects Hikaru Mori and Domenico Santomauro, and has state-of-the-art winemaking facilities and aging cellars. 
The estate extends over pristine hillsides rich in flora and fauna, characterized by a Mediterranean mesoclimate.
A natural balance of temperature shifts characterizes this terroir, conferring remarkable fertility to calcareous and cla

y loam soils. Bisceglia comprises forty hectares of vines in the heart of the Aglianico del Vulture DOCG appellation, which include local varieties – Aglianico, Moscato and Fiano – as well as a selection of international vine varieties.
