Made from 100% \u003cstrong\u003eAglianico\u003c\/strong\u003e grapes, it represents the ultimate expression of Campania's iconic grape variety, capable of producing wines of extraordinary finesse, structure, and longevity.\nThis Taurasi stands out for its balance and power: a full-bodied and enveloping red, ideal for those who love wines with a rich yet harmonious sip, an elegant tannic texture, and excellent aging potential.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVintage Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe 2020 vintage was characterized by regular climatic conditions, with good day-night temperature excursions, a decisive factor for optimal grape ripening. The harvest, which took place in late October, allowed the berries to achieve full aromatic and phenolic concentration, ensuring a remarkably complex base for wine production.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWinemaking and Aging\u003c\/h3\u003e\nAfter careful selection in the vineyard, the grapes undergo traditional \u003cstrong\u003efermentation\u003c\/strong\u003e with prolonged \u003cstrong\u003emaceration\u003c\/strong\u003e on the skins—a process that extracts color, tannins, and aromas. This is followed by an \u003cstrong\u003eaging\u003c\/strong\u003e period of approximately 30 months in oak barriques, during which the wine gains spicy nuances and sweet woody notes. Subsequently, it rests for an additional 6 months in the bottle, achieving a perfect balance between strength and roundness.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eColor\u003c\/h3\u003e\nVisually, Benito Ferrara's Taurasi DOCG “Vigna Quattro Confini” 2020 presents an intense \u003cstrong\u003eruby red\u003c\/strong\u003e color with garnet reflections, typical of great Aglianico in its mature phase.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNose\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe bouquet is complex and deep: it opens with hints of ripe red fruit, plum, and black cherry, followed by elegant notes of spices, tobacco, and a light toastiness, due to the long aging in wood.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTaste\u003c\/h3\u003e\nOn the palate, it is full, warm, and structured.
