The nose is layered and serious, often opening with dark cherry, blackberry, dried herbs, licorice, tobacco, and earthy mineral notes, with time revealing leather, spice, and hints of balsamic complexity. On the palate, it is firm and structured, with vibrant acidity and gripping tannins that give the wine both freshness and authority. The fruit remains dark and concentrated, balanced by savory undertones and a long, persistent finish. This is a wine built for patience and can continue to evolve gracefully over many years.ViininvalmistusTaurasi is produced in the volcanic hills of Campania, where Aglianico thrives in soils that lend the wine its signature intensity, minerality, and age-worthy structure. Harvesting is typically done by hand to ensure only healthy, fully ripe grapes are selected, and vinification is carried out with care to preserve the grape’s natural power and complexity, often followed by extended maturation in oak and bottle.Ruoka & tarjoiluThis wine pairs beautifully with rich, savory dishes such as braised beef, game, roast lamb, wild boar, mushroom risotto, and aged cheeses.
