Review
A release of about 16,000 bottles, the Cantine Antonio Caggiano 2015 Taurasi Vigna Macchia dei Goti is a full-bodied red wine with dark concentration and rich fruit flavors that are lasting and quite savory. At the wine's core, there is ripe, even sweet cherry fruit, but all this is framed by darker spice, leather, tar and spent ember. This expression is bold and determined, both in terms of the power of the warm vintage fruit and the amplifying effect of the oak aging. I'd reserve it for a juicy and grilled T-bone steak.

Review
The 2016 Taurasi Vigna Macchia dei Goti is spellbinding, with a classic Aglianico bouquet that mixes musky blackberries and plums with scorched earth, air-dried meats, wild herbs and exotic savory spices. There are depths of dark red and black fruits that flow in silky waves, leaving notes of sour citrus and saline-minerals that drench the palate in primary concentration. Its structure comes through during the finale, where grippy tannins mingle with residual acids to create both a structured yet also fresh impression, as inner rose tones and hints of blood orange slowly fade. The Vigna Macchia dei Goti will require a few years of cellaring to show its best. What a gorgeous Taurasi.

The tar and asphalt character is intense here. Black pepper, too. Medium to full body, integrated tannins and a firm and silky finish. Creamy texture. Drink now.

Review
This is one of the benchmark wines for the Taurasi appellation in Campania, Southern Italy. The 2014 Taurasi Vigna Macchia dei Goti is supple and soft but also dense and firm. This wine shows the power and the natural structure of those celebrated Aglianico tannins. You also get fresh acidity and a plethora of ripe fruit flavors with blackberry, ripe cherry and dried currant. The finish is dry and slightly astringent with sour cherry flavors. It ages in barrique for 16 months.

Hints of eucalyptus and spice form an aromatic thread that winds through the ripe and juicy black cherry and mulberry fruit of this muscular, full-bodied red, defined by sculpted tannins and mouthwatering acidity. Finely knit, with a long, grippy finish of hot stone and smoke notes. Best from 2021 through 2029.

Good full ruby. Bright, complex aromas of red and black fruit complemented by sweet spices, minerals and tobacco.Then dense, sweet and fruity, showcasing balanced, lively red cherry, cocoa, coffee and cinnamon flavors. A fresh note of strawberry emerges on the long, multilayered finish. The 2013 vintage was not especially easy in the Taurasi area, since there was a bit more rain than growers might have liked, but this is really lovely wine that will age well.

Review
Fully saturated, opaque purple-ruby. Very raw and very primal aromas and flavors of dark plums, spicy cocoa, blackberry nectar, flint and candied black cherry. Concentrated and dense, and smooth and luscious already. The flinty cherry, cocoa and sweet spices return on the long, vibrant, very rich finish. A baby, but very promising.

Fragrant with wild sage, bay leaf and hot iron notes, this bright and brambly red features fine-grained tannins and an appealing mix of macerated black cherry and plum fruit. It's medium- to full-bodied, with a lightly chewy, spiced finish. Drink now through 2028. 1,150 cases made, 50 cases imported.

The 2018 Taurasi Vigna Macchia de' Goti entices with a unique yet truly appealing bouquet that mixes savory brown sauce with crushed cherries and dusty sage. It washes gracefully across the palate, impactful yet finessed, with pretty red and black fruits accelerated by brisk acidity. A core of saline minerals comes forward through the close, along with youthfully grippy tannins, as the 2018 tapers off with decent length and on a plum note.

Plenty of sweet, oak-tinged black fruit on the nose and palate of this full-bodied red, with sturdy but well-integrated tannins and lots of enduring flavor. Super-clean and nicely structured. This is a big wine and, though enjoyable even now, will improve in the bottle. Excellent aging potential. Try from 2025.
