Taurasi Riserva D.O.C.G. Vigna Cinque Querce

This single vineyard, 100% Aglianico aged 42 months in barrique could prove to be the quintessence of the D.O.C.G. Dark ruby red in colour. Aromas are very complex with hints of pepper, nutmeg, plums, liquorice and coffee. Full and warm with good softness and opulence. Almost chewy fruit is enlivened by vibrant acidity and punctured by an array of tannins that go way beyond all norms for density and continuity. Quite simply, it is mind blowing.

Serving: 18-20  ̊c
Suggest: Game, red meats, strong aged cheeses.

Intense and  consistent perfume in which the evident spices ( pepper and nutmeg), mellow and sweet merges with awarm and ripe fruity impression enveloped by a touch of tobacco and by a pleasantly wild animal note. Powerful and complex taste which is sustained by a dense tannic weave that leads to a long fruity and spicy finale, with reminiscences of pepper and cloves. This wine recieved the ultimate award of  "The bicchieri" plus, in the Gambero Rosso.
