Taurasi Aurelia DOCG 2019 - Rocca del Principe

Aglianico is the vine which, together with Fiano, represents the peasant culture of the Campania region. The soil where this vine is found is composed of clayey and calcareous marl with a South/East exposure. The company begins harvesting the grapes from the beginning of November and, after pressing, the must ferments in contact with the skins for about 25 days. This is followed by malolactic fermentation and subsequent aging in barriques for 12 months and 12 in Slavonian oak barrels. The refinement in the bottle is for another 18 months. In the glass this wine has an intense ruby red colour. The nose is intoxicated by its large bouquet of black cherry, plum, spices, tobacco and balsamic notes. On the palate it is decisive, warm, rich and rightly tannic. The finish is long and persistent with an aroma reminiscent of ripe fruit. On the table it is excellent in combination with first courses with meat sauce, roasted red meats and aged cheeses. A quality red to be enjoyed and savored in good company.
