Territory and wine style

The DOCG Taurasi Riserva expresses here a precise interpretation of the Irpinian territory, through a one-hectare vineyard located on the southern slope of the Quintodecimo estate. The volcanic origin area, rich in falling ashes and pumice, helps define a mineral and deep profile, while the well-drained soil and the position at 440 meters above sea level favor balance and slow maturation. The result is an Italian wine of structure, but with a refined texture and a beautiful tension, true to the character of Aglianico and the long-lasting vocation of Taurasi.
