Description
Taurasi DOCG Vigna Cinque Querce 2017 by Salvatore Molettieri
The Vigna Cinque Querce 2017 Taurasi DOCG Salvatore Molettieri is an important, expressive, and territorial red wine, made from 100% Aglianico in the cru Vigna Cinque Querce, in Montemarano. It is a wine designed for those seeking structure, depth, and identity, with an authentic interpretation of the most vocated Irpinia. The combination of altitude, late harvest, and long maturation in wood contributes to an authoritative, rich, and long-lived profile.
Territory and wine style
The production area of Montemarano is among the most recognized for Taurasi DOCG, thanks to conditions that favor slow ripening and remarkable aromatic complexity. In this case, the vineyard, located at 550/600 meters above sea level on clay-limestone soils and facing southeast, expresses a natural balance between energy, freshness, and substance. The result is a wine with a classic and deep profile, supported by a dense tannic structure and pronounced taste tension.
Tasting notes
In the glass, it presents a deep and intense ruby red color. On the nose, it offers a wide and complex bouquet, where spices like pepper and nutmeg emerge, along with balsamic nuances and hints of ripe plum, licorice, and coffee. The palate is warm and enveloping, yet well balanced by freshness and sapidity. The structure is full, the tannin is dense and well-present, while the finish leaves a long sensation of ripe fruit and roasted notes.
Recommended pairings
This Taurasi DOCG shines with game, noble wild game, braised dishes, significant roasts, and meat preparations with a strong flavor. It also pairs very well with aged and structured cheeses that can support its intensity. It is the ideal companion for an elegant dinner or a rich menu, where wines capable of accompanying complex dishes without losing balance are needed.
Serving temperature
To best appreciate the Vigna Cinque Querce 2017 Taurasi DOCG Salvatore Molettieri, a serving temperature between 18 and 20°C is recommended. Given its structure and tannic presence, it can benefit from a short oxygenation time in a decanter before serving, especially if opened at a young age compared to its natural potential for evolution.
Why buy it
It is a valuable choice for those looking to purchase a great Italian red capable of combining strength, complexity, and territory. The cru Vigna Cinque Querce precisely tells the soul of Aglianico in its Taurasi version, offering a serious, elegant wine with great personality. Perfect for a collection, for special occasions, or for those who want to bring a label of strong gastronomic and qualitative impact to the table.
