Salvatore Molettieri Wines: the identity of Taurasi and Irpinia

The Salvatore Molettieri collection brings together some of the most representative labels from one of the most appreciated realities of Irpinia. Here, the protagonist is primarily Aglianico, a grape variety that finds an intense, deep, and long-lived expression in this territory, capable of giving life to wines of great personality such as Taurasi DOCG, Taurasi riserva, and Irpinia DOC.

The selection proposed by Italian Wine Selection enhances bottles that authentically tell the character of the winery: structured, complex wines suitable for those seeking substantial reds, as well as labels that immediately express the connection to the Campania territory.

Territory, Aglianico, and production style
