Territory and wine style
This Taurasi Riserva comes from a one-hectare vineyard planted in 2004 on the southern slope of the Quintodecimo estate, at an altitude of 440 meters. The vineyard develops on volcanic soils originating from ashes and pumice, well-drained, deep, and coarse-textured. These conditions favor vegetative balance and a maturation capable of providing structure, aromatic precision, and taste tension. The Taurasi DOCG denomination is among the most prestigious in Irpinia and interprets Aglianico in an authoritative, long-lived, and complex manner.
Tasting notes
In the glass, the wine expresses an intense and refined profile, with hints of cherry, plum, and chocolate, supported by a meaty yet delicate taste structure. As it evolves, the bouquet enriches with fresher and balsamic nuances, with notes of mint, eucalyptus, and incense that expand its depth. The sip is structured, elegant, and persistent, with a balance typical of great reds meant for aging. The imprint of Aglianico brings a lively acidic energy and a significant tannic presence, well integrated into an overall design of great finesse.
