It is a wine designed for those seeking intensity, structure, and complexity, with the charm typical of the best expressions of Taurasi.

Territory and wine style

The grapes come from Montemarano, in one of the most suitable areas for Taurasi, characterized by a mountainous nature and suited for wines with great tension and evolutionary capacity. The cru Vigna Cinque Querce is located at 550/600 meters above sea level, on clay-limestone soils and with a southeast exposure, elements that contribute to defining an elegant yet vigorous profile. The manual harvest in crates, fermentation in steel at controlled temperatures, and long maturation in barriques and large oak barrels tell of a careful winemaking project, capable of enhancing Aglianico with precision and depth.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents a very intense ruby color, almost impenetrable, with slight garnet reflections. The bouquet is wide and articulated, with hints of morello cherry, plum jam, spices, toasting, coffee, and cocoa. On the palate, it is full, rich, and enveloping, supported by a well-present freshness and elegant yet dense tannins, typical of Aglianico. The finish is long and persistent, with fruity returns and warm toasting nuances that amplify its depth.

Recommended pairings

This Taurasi Riserva shines with structured and flavorful dishes. It pairs well with braises, stews, game, braised meats, and significant roasts, but also with hard or aged cheeses and well-matured stretched cheeses. Its rich flavor makes it ideal even with traditional Campanian recipes that require long cooking, where the aromatic component of the wine can accompany and enhance the dish's savoriness.

Serving temperature

The ideal serving temperature is between 18 and 20 °C. To best appreciate its complexity, it is advisable to open the bottle a little in advance, to encourage the evolution of the aromas in the glass. In a wine of this structure, brief aeration can be beneficial, especially in the early stages of tasting.
