Vinosia Taurasi 'Santandrea' 2013, Campania, Italy
For fans of rustic, earth-driven wines, Aglianico is a star!
“Along with Nebbiolo and Sangiovese, Aglianico is generally believed to be one of Italy’s three best wine grapes, but in my opinion it is far more…”
–Ian D’Agata, Native Wine Grapes of Italy
Vinosia is the new project from the most important winemaker in the DOCG Taurasi region in Southern Italy's Campagna, Luciano Ercolino of Feudi San Gregorio fame.
This bright, well-spiced red is medium- to full-bodied and fresh, with very deep black and red fruits and hints of blackberries, plums, and cured olives. Good acidity, ample smooth tannins and a long finish reminiscent of black cherries, tea, spices, figs, and plums.
Best served with roasted meats, game, and fowl.
