Territory and wine style

The origin from Montemarano, with vineyards located at 550/600 meters above sea level and a southeast exposure, tells of a context suited to give balance and personality to the Aglianico. The clay-limestone soil, manual harvesting in crates, and limited production are elements that accompany a rigorous style with a strong identity. In the glass, the Taurasi Vigna Cinque Querce Riserva 2016 DOCG presents itself as an important red, capable of merging power, freshness, and aromatic definition, with a well-recognizable territorial imprint.

Tasting notes

Visually, it shows a very dense ruby color, almost impenetrable, with barely hinted garnet reflections. The bouquet is broad and complex: notes of sour cherry, plum jam, spices, and toasted hints reminiscent of coffee and cocoa emerge. On the palate, it is full and enveloping, supported by a good softness, present acidity, and elegant, well-integrated tannins. The structure is solid, the persistence long, with a finish that recalls ripe fruit, toasting, and deep, lingering sensations.
