WINE DESCRIPTION

Quintodecimo Taurasi Riserva, crafted by the renowned Luigi Moio, stands as a pinnacle of Aglianico from the volcanic Taurasi appellation. This exceptional red wine showcases the estate’s Cru Vigna Quintodecimo, reflecting the unique limestone soils that contribute to its character. The winemaking process highlights traditional techniques combined with modern finesse, resulting in a wine of remarkable richness and elegance. Its initially restrained bouquet gradually reveals layers of violets, ripe blackberries, plums, and subtle smokiness. With a silky texture, finely woven tannins, and a fresh interplay of fruit and acidity, this wine promises to evolve beautifully over the next 10-15 years.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Quintodecimo Taurasi Riserva presents a deep purple hue, with a captivating bouquet of medicinal black cherries, cloves, and dusty roses.The palate unfolds with a harmonious blend of blackberry and cocoa, supported by grippy tannins. Its structured and long finish reveals hints of sage and lavender, showcasing an impressive balance. This wine is best paired with rich, savory dishes like braised lamb or hearty stews. Allow it to breathe and consider cellaring for several years to integrate its oak influence fully. This exquisite Aglianico promises a rewarding experience as it matures.
