Description
Taurasi Riserva Vigna Quintodecimo 2018 Magnum
The Taurasi Riserva Vigna Quintodecimo 2018 DOCG Quintodecimo Magnum is a great red wine from Campania made from Aglianico grapes, an expression of a cru with a particular identity. Signed by Quintodecimo, it accurately tells the character of the Irpinia territory through a deep, elegant style with remarkable aromatic intensity. The magnum version further enhances the wine's aging potential, making it ideal for those seeking an important bottle, suitable for special moments and long-term storage.
Territory and wine style
This Taurasi Riserva DOCG comes from a two-hectare vineyard located on the north-western slope of the estate, at an altitude of 420 meters, on soils rich in limestone and with the presence of expandable clay rocks. This context favors an Aglianico of great personality, capable of uniting structure, freshness, and finesse. The exposure and altitude contribute to a rigorous yet harmonious style, where the strength of the grape variety meets a modern and very refined interpretation.
Tasting notes
In the glass, the Taurasi Riserva Vigna Quintodecimo stands out for its complex and refined profile, with hints of small fruits, spices, and floral notes. On the palate, it shows depth, energy, and a flavorful, well-defined tannic structure, supported by a freshness that extends its progression. The structure is significant yet always elegant, with a persistent finish rich in nuances, designed to evolve over time without losing precision and class.
Recommended pairings
This wine shines with dishes of great character, such as braised meats, roasted lamb, game, beef fillet, wild game, and aged cheeses. Its structure and well-expressed tannins also make it suitable for rich preparations of Italian regional cuisine, especially when intense flavors, slow cooking, and important seasonings are present. It is a red that authoritatively accompanies the most important gastronomic occasions.
Serving temperature
To best appreciate the Taurasi Riserva Vigna Quintodecimo, the ideal temperature is 18-20 °C. In its youth, it can benefit from a few hours of aeration in a decanter, which helps to open its bouquet and make the tannic structure more harmonious. Served with care, it expresses complexity, balance, and depth at its best.
