Luigi Lauria
Guarnaccino Rosso
Basilicata, Italy
First vintage ever produced of 100% Guarnaccino.
I went to visit Luigi in his grotto, there are 600 in Chiaromonte, where we tasted the wines and he decided he wanted to share with me one of the 2021 which he hadn't tasted for a while.
The wine found a balance, a harmony that 2022 still lacks. The tannin is softening, expression of fruit is more focused, the balsamic.. we have a great wine in the glass that again the day after is simply stunning.
Luigi Lauria is writing the history of this variety!!
Absolutely one of the best tastes i have had recently for so many reasons, but above all, the discovery of this varietal which is hardly produced and has always been kept unvoluntarily secret from this region.
Extremely long and a real pleasure to sip.
It goes without saying there's a huge curiosity on the future of this wine.
Bravo Luigi!!
