Description
Taurasi Riserva Vigna Quintodecimo DOCG 2012: elegance and depth from Aglianico
Taurasi riserva Vigna Quintodecimo DOCG 2012 is a great red wine from Campania signed by Quintodecimo, an expression of a cru of Aglianico capable of uniting aromatic intensity, structure, and refinement. It comes from a two-hectare vineyard and precisely tells the character of the Irpinia territory, offering a complex and harmonious profile, designed for those seeking an important, long-lived, and authentically territorial wine.
Territory and wine style
This Taurasi DOCG comes from a plot located on the north-western slope of the estate, at an altitude of 420 meters, on clayey soils rich in limestone. The exposure and slope contribute to defining a wine of great balance, with well-present freshness and a tannic structure capable of supporting evolution over time. The 2012 vintage expresses itself in a deep and refined style, faithful to the vocation of Aglianico wine and the personality of the denomination.
Tasting notes
In the glass, the Taurasi riserva Vigna Quintodecimo DOCG 2012 shows an intense and deep color, a prelude to an articulated bouquet of small fruits, spices, and floral notes. On the palate, it combines richness, class, and aromatic intensity, with flavorful and well-present tannins, integrated into an elegant structure. The freshness supports the sip and accompanies a long, clean, and persistent finish, confirming its important profile and natural predisposition to aging.
Recommended pairings
The solidity of the Taurasi riserva Vigna Quintodecimo DOCG 2012 makes it ideal with structured and flavorful dishes: braised meats, important roasts, game, grilled meats, and aged cheeses. It also pairs wonderfully with the richer traditional Campanian cuisine, where the tannic component and the freshness of the wine find an excellent balance with long and intense preparations.
Serving temperature
To best appreciate the Taurasi riserva Vigna Quintodecimo DOCG 2012, a serving temperature between 18 and 20 °C is recommended. An early opening can be helpful to promote oxygenation and bring out the aromatic profile, especially if the wine is uncorked in a still young phase of its evolution.
