Description
Taurasi DOCG Riserva Vigna Cinque Querce 2017
TAURASI D.O.C.G. Riserva Vigna Cinque Querce 2017 by Salvatore Molettieri is a great red wine from Campania made from Aglianico 100%, an intense and authoritative expression of one of the most suitable areas in Irpinia. A wine designed for those seeking personality, structure, and complexity, capable of precisely conveying the character of the cru Vigna Cinque Querce and the tradition of Taurasi in a version of great depth and balance.
Territory and wine style
The grapes come from Montemarano, in a plot located about 550 meters above sea level, on clay-limestone soils with a South-East exposure. The vineyard conditions, along with the manual harvest in crates carried out between early and mid-November, help define a rich and mature profile, yet supported by freshness and tension. The maturation of about 60 months in barriques and large oak barrels, followed by at least 6 months in the bottle, gives the wine depth, integration, and a fascinating evolving structure.
Tasting notes
In the glass, the wine presents a dense, almost impenetrable color, crossed by ruby and garnet reflections. The bouquet is broad and complex, with hints of sour cherry, plum jam, spices, toasting, coffee, and cocoa. On the palate, it is full and enveloping, with a good softness balanced by lively acidity and elegant, dense but well-integrated tannins. The finish is long and persistent, with fruity and spicy returns that leave a deep and refined impression.
Recommended pairings
This Taurasi D.O.C.G. Riserva Vigna Cinque Querce 2017 pairs effectively with structured and flavorful dishes. It is ideal with braised meats, stews, game, and long-cooked baked preparations. Excellent also with aged hard cheeses or pasta filata, where its acidity and tannic structure find a natural balance with the savoriness and concentration of the food.
Serving temperature
To best appreciate the complexity of the TAURASI D.O.C.G. Riserva Vigna Cinque Querce 2017, a serving temperature between 18 and 20°C is recommended. If possible, it is helpful to uncork the bottle a little in advance to promote oxygenation and enhance the evolution of the bouquet.
Why buy it
It is an ideal choice for those looking to buy wine online, focusing on an important, territorial, and long-lived red. The TAURASI D.O.C.G. Riserva Vigna Cinque Querce 2017 combines the identity of Aglianico with the signature of a winery recognized for style and consistency, offering a wine of great presence, suitable for both special occasions and the cellar of those who love great Italian wines to wait for and rediscover over time.
