Description

The volcanic-rich soils of Campania’s Taurasi were awarded DOCG status and rightfully so. This unique, full bodied, earthy red is made from the ancient Aglianico grape. Rustic cherry, meaty, smoky flavours dominate the palate with a touch of leather and spice. This is still a baby so if drinking now decant for a few hours at least.
