Salvatore Molettieri is one of the great traditionalists of Campania, crafting intensely structured Aglianico from the high-altitude vineyards of Irpinia. Cinque Querce comes from one of the estate’s best sites, where volcanic soils and a long growing season give the wine its signature power and complexity. The 2020 vintage is packed with richness and depth, but still carries the freshness that makes top-tier Aglianico so compelling.

Blackberry, dark plum, and cassis lead, backed by notes of leather, tobacco, and smoky volcanic earth. The tannins are firm and grippy, but there’s enough acidity to keep everything balanced. Give it a long decant if drinking now, or cellar for another decade—it will only get better. Best paired with braised lamb, grilled meats, or anything slow-cooked and hearty. Classic, age-worthy Aglianico at its best.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 92
"Youthfully tense and tightly wound, the 2020 Aglianico Cinque Querce smolders up with an array of dried florals and ashen stone, lifted by a mentholated herbal tinge. This is showier within, with a polished wave of ripe black fruits and sweet spice contrasted by hints of sour citrus. Grippy tannins amass toward the close. The 2020 finishes structured and long, with a coating of primary concentration that adds further tension yet also promises many years of positive development." -Vinous
