Description
Taurasi DOCG Vigna Cinque Querce 2018
TAURASI D.O.C.G. Vigna Cinque Querce 2018 by Salvatore Molettieri is a great red wine from Campania made from 100% Aglianico, an authoritative interpreter of Irpinia and one of the most important denominations in southern Italy. It’s a wine designed for those seeking intensity, depth, and structure, with a profile capable of combining energy, balance, and remarkable aging potential.
Territory and wine style
The grapes come from Montemarano, in a plot located about 550 meters above sea level, on clay-limestone soils facing Southeast. This context favors complete ripening while maintaining a natural freshness that gives lift to the sip and precision to the overall profile. The manual harvest, carried out between early and mid-November, suggests a careful selection of the grapes. The aging of about 60 months in barriques and large oak barrels, followed by at least 6 months in the bottle, defines a deep, structured, and harmonious style, where the Irpinian tradition meets a refined and measured imprint.
Tasting notes
In the glass, the wine shows an intense color, between dense ruby and garnet reflections. The bouquet is broad and complex, with aromas of ripe cherry, dark plum, sweet spices, toasting, coffee, and cocoa. On the palate, it enters with a full body, a dense yet well-integrated tannic structure, and a softness that balances the tasting tension. The acidity is lively and well-present, a typical element of Aglianico and essential for giving dynamism and length to the sip. The finish is long, persistent, and coherent, with fruity and spicy returns that accompany an elegant and authoritative closure.
Recommended pairings
