WINE DESCRIPTION

Salvatore Molettieri Renonno Taurasi is a fiercely tannic and powerfully structured, dry red wine hailing from the Taurasi appellation in Southern Italy. Crafted by Salvatore Molettieri, the vineyard that supplies the Aglianco grapes for this wine comes from a Cru (classified) site called 'Renonno' situated at high elevation. After hand harvesting and crushing the grapes, the wine undergoes a fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats. The wine is matured for approximately 36 months in small barriques and large oak casks, before spending a further 6 months in bottle prior to its release.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Salvatore Molettieri Renonno Taurasi displays a deep ruby color, indicating its youth and vibrancy.On the nose, it offers an enticing bouquet of ripe dark fruits, such as black cherry and plum, accompanied by hints of spice, tobacco, and earthy undertones. On the palate, Renonno Taurasi exhibits a full-bodied and well-structured profile. The tannins are firm and muscular in nature, providing a solid backbone to the wine. Flavors of blackberry, blackcurrant, and licorice dominate, complemented by notes of leather and dried herbs. The wine's impressive concentration and depth are balanced by a refreshing acidity, resulting in a harmonious and refined finish.
