Riserva Taurasi Aglianico
Taurasi, Avellino, Campania, Italy
Dark glass-clinging reddish purple. Abundantly inviting nose of blueberry-blackberry compote. Full-bodied palate echoes the nose adding sweet ash and burnt marzipan. Medium tannins. Medium acidity. Perfect balanced example of the "Barolo of the South." Drink with a wide range of "red wine" fare. Pizza of course is the native dish. Drink now through 2032.

Dec 29th, 2023Dark garnet purple with near black core. Abundant nose and full-bodied palate yield juicy (medium plus) acidity) blueberry ,and blackberry cobbler. Medium firm, supple tannins in the mix making for a classic Italian food wine. Enjoy with beef dishes, game, or a high end pizza Margherita. Drink now through 2027.

Deep ruby, funky decomposed earth with stewed red fruits in the background on the nose. Nice chalky add to the palate. Low to medium acidity. Medium alcohol for a Taurasi. Nice tannins. Excellent interpretation of Aglianico!!!
92+ point

Expected a little more from this one considering the quality of their other Aglianico varieties, but still enjoyable.
