Taurasi 1999 - FEUDI DI SAN GREGORIO 750ml x 1 bottle

Feudi di San Gregorio's Taurasi DOCG is made from a blend of Aglianico from multiple plots. All small, scattered plots are classified by conditions such as altitude, vine age, soil, and training method. The best are then selected for this Taurasi, taking into account yearly changing factors such as vineyard management and vintage.

Classification: Taurasi DOCG

Grape variety: 100% Aglianico

Tasting: A garnet-tinged ruby color with a hint of maturity. Aromas of black cherry and cassis liqueur spread, along with notes of clove, star anise, and dried herbs. The palate is elegant, with a slightly firmer impression compared to 1997. The tannins are fine, and the acidity clearly defines the structure, with a long finish of mineral notes and spices. A classic and well-balanced Taurasi.

Winemaking: Grapes are hand-picked from vineyards at an altitude of 300-500m, from mid-October to the end of the month. Maceration and alcoholic fermentation take place in stainless steel tanks at 24°C for 15 days, followed by malolactic fermentation in wooden barrels. Aged for 18 months in French oak barrels, followed by a minimum of 9 months of bottle aging.

Pairing: Roasted red meat, oily fish, vegetable dishes
