Feudi di San Gregorio
Feudi Studi Rosamilia Taurasi Aglianico
Taurasi, Avellino, Campania, Italy
Comparing two top end Taurasi from Feudi di San Gregorio
The Rosamilia, coming across slightly heavier vs Fievo with dark plum, baked black cherry, a hint of cinnamon and the black volcanic minerality more pronounced. A hint of coffee dregs or very dark roasted espresso.
On the palate, slightly fuller than Fuevo, the pronounced yet juicy tannins and brilliant acidity. The dark spicy plums are on the forefront.
Brilliant depth & length, still a baby though.
Probably should wait longer than Fievo. Might need to dip into my 2016s instead.

At 9 years and with 6h decant this is singing. Expressive, juicy, fresh and quite mineral.
Black fruit, cloves, black pepper, dried orange peel + a warm rocky mineral presence. Highly enticing.
On the palate this is medium bodied, with bright, juicy acidity and a beautiful tannic frame. Quite pronounced but polished, juicy and slowly mellowing. Love the tension between the tannins and acidity. And the space in between. Very long finish with a mineral, rocky ending.
This is quite serious but so drinkable! Works beautifully with food (ribeye!) but also is highly enjoyable after. A bit of a meditation wine.
Delicious stuff!

Single cru vineyard, 60y old vines grown on volcanic tuff.
Beautifully floral & expressive on the nose with bright cherry, cedar wood, exotic spices, a touch of dark plum, a pronounced note of crushed, volcanic rock. Showing first hints of evolution but so bright & alive. Amazing, I could be smelling this forever.
On the palate this is a stunning contradiction. Brutish & seemingly rough yet so elegant & charming at the same time.
The unforgiving tannic grip so juicy, slowly mellowing, showing the polished quality below the brute force. The acidity cutting across with citrus freshness, a mineral core underneath the dark fruit, which is filling the edges in th back.
This is a stunner, slowly peaking at 8y of age.
A truly beautiful, profound wine. No wonder they call Taurasi the Barolo of the south.
