Epicuro Puglia Aglianico, 2022

The meal featured spinach pie, Greek lemon potatoes and Greek salad with feta cheese. I chose this wine to accompany it because it has a sneaky amount of sweetness to counter the salty, lemony flavors of the meal. It worked well.

Deep and dark. Blackberries, dark cherries and spice. Lush and smooth. 13% alcohol and residual sugar that is just below what many tasters detect. Well received. We also had the 2024 version which was more fruit forward but not quite as smooth or aromatic. For $5.99 at Trader Joe's, this and other wines from Epicuro are excellent values.
