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.
Taurasi 1998
49,00 €
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.
