Tasting Notes

This Taurasi DOCG stands as a benchmark for Campania's highest quality classification. With 13.5% alcohol, it strikes a confident balance between body and freshness. Crafted from Aglianico 100%, this wine expresses the unique terroir characteristics. Expect layered dark fruit aromas, firm tannins and a long, satisfying finish. The fruit is sourced from vineyards cultivated according to the guyot system in a soil rich in clay, limestone and yellow marn. Vinification: fermentation in steel tanks with maceration on the skins for 10-20 days. The wine is aged 24 months in different oak barrels and at least 12 in bottle. A wine true to Campania's tradition of structured, age-worthy wines.
