Territory and wine style

The Taurasi DOCG is one of the most prestigious denominations in Irpinia and tells the story of a territory suited for intense, long-lived wines with great depth. In this label, the combination of loamy, clayey, and sandy soil helps define a harmonious profile, while the altitude helps preserve freshness and aromatic precision. Vinification in steel and the subsequent passage in French oak barriques accompany the wine without overshadowing its identity, enhancing the natural structure of Aglianico and its ability to evolve over time.
