Territory and wine style

The designation is Taurasi D.O.C.G. Riserva, one of the most prestigious expressions of Irpinia and the Campania region. The grapes come from Montemarano, in the province of Avellino, from vineyards located 870 meters above sea level, on predominantly clayey soils rich in skeleton, with a north-west exposure. These conditions contribute to defining a style of great tension, with structure, freshness, and capacity for evolution. The 2012 vintage, combined with a long aging in wood and subsequent refinement in the bottle, yields a wine designed for expressive maturity and a high-level table.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents a brilliant ruby red color, deep and luminous. The bouquet is complex and opens with notes of sour cherry, plum, and blackberries, followed by darker nuances of spices, tobacco, and ash, which enhance its austere and refined profile. On the palate, it is velvety and soft, but supported by a well-present tannic structure and an engaging savoriness. The structure is firm, the balance is harmonious, and the finish is persistent, with a closing that invites another sip and enhances its evolution over time.
