Taurasi Contrade di Taurasi 2011

The Taurasi by Contrade di Taurasi is one of those red wines rich and austere that leave an indelible memory in the minds of all the fans who decide to try it. We have known the Contrade di Taurasi at Vinitaly and we immediately liked the idea of this small family winery: don’t follow the trends, don’t point to white classics such as the Greco di Tufo or Fiano, but make of Aglianico a real and its strength. The Taurasi by Contrade di Taurasi absolutely deserves attention and respect for its intense impact of ash and smoke gray. Company that focuses on product quality rather than quantity of production and has been able to immediately present themselves to the public as excellence. Here we present the basic Taurasi was born on volcanic soils with a strong presence of cinerite; rich soils between 300 and 400 meters above sea level, where there are screws that are at least 20 years of age. Districts of Taurasi has now decided to limit intervention in the vineyard, obtaining organic certification soon. Here, the harvest is strictly manual and maceration on the skins lasts for 15 days. It is aged 30% in oak barrels and 70% in stainless steel and after 24 months the wine is ready for bottling. We are facing a Taurasi with high-impact, intense and persistent, which is offered in all its glory with aromas of tobacco, with balsamic notes and a final closing of spices persuasive and intriguing. The Taurasi Contrade di Taurasi: a red cloth and with great importance.
