Produced from 100% \u003cstrong\u003eAglianico\u003c\/strong\u003e grapes, it is a structured and complex red wine, a symbol of the \u003cstrong\u003eDenominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita (DOCG)\u003c\/strong\u003e appellation. This magnum format, enclosed in its elegant wooden box, is designed for those looking for a wine to share or to store in the cellar for years, allowing it to evolve over time in all its power and refinement.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVintage Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe 2018 vintage was characterized by balanced climatic conditions, with a moderately warm summer and a dry autumn that allowed for complete and gradual grape ripening. The Aglianico harvest took place between late October and early November, a typical period for this late-ripening grape variety. The result is a wine of extraordinary balance between freshness, body, and elegant aromas, perfectly expressing the volcanic identity of the territory.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWinemaking and Aging\u003c\/h3\u003e\nAfter controlled \u003cstrong\u003efermentation\u003c\/strong\u003e in steel, with a \u003cstrong\u003emaceration\u003c\/strong\u003e on the skins for about 20 days (a process that extracts color and tannins), the Taurasi DOCG 2018 ages for 18 months in barriques and oak barrels. This is followed by further aging in the bottle before release. This long process gives the wine structure, balance, and extraordinary aromatic depth, characteristics that only a great Aglianico can achieve.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eColor\u003c\/h3\u003e\nTo the eye, it presents an intense ruby red with garnet reflections, a sign of ongoing evolution and great concentration.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNose\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe aroma is broad and refined, with notes of ripe red fruit – cherry and plum – blending with hints of sweet spices, tobacco, and cocoa. There are also mineral and slightly smoky nuances, typical of Irpinia's volcanic soils.\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePalate\u003c\/h3\u003e\nOn the palate, it is powerful and enveloping. The \u003cstrong\u003etannin\u003c\/strong\u003e is present but well-smoothed, a sign of careful maturation. The structure is significant and balanced by a pleasant \u003cstrong\u003eacidity\u003c\/strong\u003e, which supports the drinkability and promises a long aging potential. The finish is long, complex, and persistent.\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePairing with Taurasi DOCG 2018 Magnum - Feudi di San Gregorio (wooden box)\u003c\/h2\u003e\nThis wine is best enjoyed with dishes of strong and structured flavors.
