It is born as a wine of character, designed for those seeking complexity, elegance, and a strong territorial identity in the bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTerritory and wine style\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wine comes from \u003cstrong\u003eMontemarano\u003c\/strong\u003e, one of the most interesting areas of Taurasi, with the cru \u003cstrong\u003eVigna Cinque Querce\u003c\/strong\u003e located at \u003cstrong\u003e550\/600 meters above sea level\u003c\/strong\u003e on \u003cstrong\u003eclay-limestone soils\u003c\/strong\u003e. The combination of altitude, southeast exposure, and late harvest contributes to a mature yet tense profile, capable of best expressing the personality of Aglianico. The processing involves fermentation in steel at controlled temperature, followed by a long maturation in barriques and large oak casks, which guides the wine towards balance and depth without overshadowing its territorial soul.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, it presents a very intense, almost impenetrable color, a dense ruby with slight garnet reflections. The nose is broad and complex, with hints of \u003cstrong\u003emaraschino cherry\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eplum jam\u003c\/strong\u003e, spices, toasted notes, coffee, and cocoa. On the palate, it is full, warm, and enveloping, supported by a still vibrant freshness and elegant tannins, well integrated into the flavor structure. The persistence is long and reveals returns of ripe fruit, toasting, and spicy nuances, in a rich yet harmonious style, typical of great aging wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRecommended pairings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eTaurasi Cinque Querce DOCG Riserva 2016\u003c\/strong\u003e pairs naturally with important dishes of Italian cuisine.
