Feudi di San Gregorio Taurasi

A real great from Campania: The Aglianico grape variety is to Campania what Sangiovese is to Tuscany: beginning and end. The Greeks brought the variety to southern Italy 2500 years ago. Today it is one of the best in the whole country, for which one wine in particular is responsible, the Taurasi. In this remarkable red wine, the Aglianico is given the highest honors. It is no coincidence that the Taurasi is on a par with the Amarone or the Barolo. A wine that shines. And all the more so when a renowned producer like Feudi di San Gregorio takes it on.The winery lets the Aglianico vines grow in the original hilly landscape of Irpinia. Around the municipality of Taurasi, which lends its name to the wine, volcanic soils promote the ripening of the grapes. The mash fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks. The wine then matures for 18 months in French oak barrels. After another nine months in the bottle, the Taurasi finally presents itself in its most beautiful perfection. The wine sparkles in the glass, ruby ​​red with garnet reflections. Its intense aroma is reminiscent of ripe sour cherries and fine spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla and anise. The wine is powerful and wonderfully balanced in the mouth. The soft tannins and elegant acidity give it plenty of structure, while a mineral note is the icing on the cake. Taurasi - this wine is and remains a great one!
