Taurasi DOCG Riserva 2019 Legare Fonzone

The Taurasi DOCG Riserva 2019 Legare Fonzone interprets Aglianico in a contemporary and authoritative guise, with a profile designed for those seeking a Campanian red wine of character, depth, and long evolution. Born from pure Aglianico grapes, it expresses the identity of the Taurasi territory with a style that combines rigor, precision, and gastronomic flair.

Territory and wine style

The grapes come from Paternopoli, in the province of Avellino, from a vineyard located 430 meters above sea level, on clayey-loamy soils and with a west-southwest exposure. This context contributes to giving the wine structure, balance, and a slow and complete maturation, fundamental elements for a Taurasi DOCG Riserva of substance. Harvesting takes place in the second week of November, a choice consistent with the natural ability of Aglianico to reach full maturity in late periods. The result is a red that retains tension and freshness, but also knows how to offer volume and density on the palate.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents itself with an intense ruby red, enriched by violet reflections. The bouquet is rich and articulated, with hints of sour cherry, fresh herbaceous notes, black peppercorns, nuances of vanilla, and hints of dried tobacco leaf. On the palate, the wine is powerful yet well-balanced, with a dense and mature tannic structure, never aggressive. The structure is significant, supported by good freshness and a savory progression that accompanies a long and deep finish. The persistence is remarkable and leaves an elegant, full, and satisfying sensation.
