Territory and wine style

This Taurasi DOCG originates from a one-hectare vineyard located on the southern slope of the Quintodecimo estate, at an altitude of 440 meters, on volcanic soils derived from ashes and pumice. The non-calcareous nature, good soil depth, and drainage create ideal conditions for a well-balanced Aglianico. The result is a wine that combines power, precision, and finesse, with a typical profile of the territory but interpreted in a refined and modern way.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents the deep and authoritative character of great aging reds. On the nose, aromas of cherry, plum, and chocolate emerge, accompanied over time by fresher hints of mint, eucalyptus, and incense. The palate is fleshy yet delicate, built on a solid structure and a balance that unites strength and finesse. The tannic component, typical of Aglianico, is supported but not aggressive, while the freshness gives lift and extends the finish with great persistence.
