Discovering Aglianico through Taurasi
Taurasi offers one clearly defined way to explore this grape in a mature red wine.
In Taurasi DOCG, Aglianico provides the foundation of a red wine that spends at least three years aging, including one in wooden casks. The Riserva follows a longer schedule. These are rules for Taurasi, rather than a timetable for every wine made from Aglianico.
The Taurasi specification describes a dry, full flavor and a ruby color that moves toward garnet with age. It gives you a particular expression to taste, without making one denomination stand for the grape’s entire range.
