Taurasi Vigna Quattro Confini
Made with 100% Aglianico grapes from the highest part of the single vineyard Quattro Confini (four borders) facing south-east to the municipality of Montemiletto. The Taurasi DOCG comes from the Aglianico vine, widespread in the South Italy but mainly present in the Campania region, in the province of Avellino. Production includes medium maceration for a few days, with daily pumping over until racking. Fermentation of the must happens in stainless steel vats, matures first in barriques, then aged in the bottle for at least six months. In total, 36 months are necessary to be released in the market. It is a fine wine with complex aromas of berries, morello cherries and violets, with soft tannins and an ending of mineral freshness on spicy notes.
