Taurasi 1996 – Magnum

122,00 

Brilliant ruby red with garnet reflections, fragant perfumes of maraschino cherry, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla and anise. The taste is full and balanced with sweet and soft tannins that confer a good aromatic persistence.

The old town and hills of Taurasi create a fantastic viticulture oasis: here Aglianico finds its ideal territory – uncontaminated, volcanic and impenetrable – thus giving birth to intense, complex and elegant wines also thanks to oak ageing. This is how a great Aglianico becomes Taurasi DOCG.
