WINE DESCRIPTION
Vigna Andrea Taurasi is produced by Colli di Lapio, an estate overseen by owner-winemaker Clelia Romano and her daughter, Carmela. They are located in the Campania region of Southern Italy. This Taurasi is crafted using the indigenous Aglianico variety. This grape, known as 'Nebbiolo of the South', thrives in hot and dry climates, yielding full-bodied red wines with levels of high tannin and acidity. Grapes are harvested by hand, fermentation takes place in stainless steel, and maturation occurs in a combination of oak barrels and bottle.
