I can't comment spesifically on the wines and vintage. But both are the top Aglianico del Vulture-selections from d'Angelo. They come from different vineyards. The valle del Noce is a quite new selection. The Caselle has been around for years. Both are traditionally made and normally the Valle del Noce has a little lower yield and is a little more expensive. 10$ seems quite a huge difference. I thought they normally were closer in price. So that votes for the Caselle.
If they go cheap I would surely be interested to try both. These are often very good wines for the price.

Hi,
I had the last bottle of this recently and the report was pretty good except it fell off a bit at the end of the night.
"Semi-extreme drying feel, black tea, black raspberry, tart, rich, volcanic, full bodied, assertive, lava bomb, sweet, tobacco, earth, very good, coffee for sure, smooth and powerful, blackberry"
By this point, the wine was like an old friend asa we brought it out for fun/special occasions.

Thanks for checking in with the update!
I forget about my Aglianico wines then remember them and intentionally forget again for more aging.

Well, I don't have the broadest experience but I'd say that they don't develop truly different and meaningful tertiary elements. But they can soften which helps overall harmony of the parts. Just when depends on producer and vintage. Again, in my experience they just about always stay more "rugged" in character. But that's why one collects them, to have that arrow in the quiver.
