Description
Taurasi DOCG Riserva 2012 Vigna Cinque Querce Salvatore Molettieri
Taurasi D.O.C.G. Riserva 2012 Vigna Cinque Querce by Salvatore Molettieri is a great red wine from Aglianico 100%, an authentic expression of Irpinia and one of its deepest and longest interpretations. Born from a careful selection of grapes in the Cinque Querce vineyard, this wine combines power, elegance, and complexity, offering a rich and mature profile, designed for those seeking a structured Taurasi with great personality.
Territory and wine style
The wine comes from the area of Montemarano, in the heart of the Taurasi DOCG denomination, from a vineyard located about 550 meters above sea level, on clay-limestone soils. The high-hilly position, southeast exposure, and manual harvesting in crates help preserve the integrity and quality of the grapes. The Aglianico here finds an ideal environment to express structure, aromatic depth, and evolutionary capacity, giving rise to an important red, refined by a long maturation in oak and further aging in bottle.
Tasting notes
In the glass, it presents a very intense ruby color, almost impenetrable, with slight garnet reflections. The bouquet is wide and complex: notes of sour cherry, plum jam, spices, fine toasting, and hints of coffee and cocoa emerge. On the palate, it is full, enveloping, and well-balanced, with a softness supported by lively acidity and elegant tannins. The sip is deep, persistent, and coherent, with a long finish that recalls ripe fruit, sweet spices, and toasted notes.
Recommended pairings
This Taurasi DOCG Riserva 2012 pairs naturally with rich and structured dishes such as braised meats, stews, game, and roasted red meats. It is also excellent with aged hard cheeses or well-matured stretched curd cheeses, as well as with flavorful preparations from traditional Italian cuisine. Its tannic structure and good acidity make it perfect for dishes with intense flavors and long cooking times.
Serving temperature
It is recommended to serve Taurasi D.O.C.G. Riserva 2012 Vigna Cinque Querce at a temperature of 18-20 °C. Given the structure and evolution of the wine, it is useful to open it a bit in advance to enhance its aromatic expression, and if necessary, using a decanter can be advantageous.
Why buy it
It is an ideal choice for those looking to purchase online a great Italian red capable of combining territorial identity, complexity, and aging potential. Taurasi D.O.C.G. Riserva 2012 Vigna Cinque Querce best represents the style of Salvatore Molettieri: a serious, deep, and gastronomic wine, perfect for an important dinner, for the cellars of enthusiasts, or as a valuable gift for those who love characterful Aglianico.
