Taurasi Reserve Docg

Taurasi Riserva is made from grapes from the Calore Interno vineyard, harvested by hand between late October and early November. They follow a classic red vinification with maceration on the skins at a controlled temperature. The resulting wine ages for 18 months in large 10 hl barrels and subsequently in steel and bottle. In the glass the wine appears bright ruby ​​red. The nose is complex with notes of undergrowth, blood orange, morello cherry, tobacco, balsamic and spicy hints. The sip is full and fresh, with elegant tannins and a persuasive finish. Perfect with roast lamb, stewed game and mature cheeses.
