4/9 Taurasi

This is a top-tier Taurasi, made with an extremely low yield—almost as if one vine produces just one bottle of wine.

Are you familiar with Campania in Italy?

It is the birthplace of Napoli-style pizza, known for its soft and chewy crust, and also home to the ruins of Pompeii, which were buried by volcanic eruptions.

Taurasi is made from the Aglianico grape, a powerful and structured variety.

The name “Aglianico” is said to mean “from ancient Greece,” and it was long believed that this grape was brought from Greece.

However, recent studies suggest a different perspective.

DNA analysis has not clearly linked Aglianico to any modern Greek grape varieties.

That said, these theories are not always definitive, so it is best to understand this as one of several interpretations.

Taurasi is often referred to as the “Barolo of Southern Italy.”

Barolo, from Northern Italy, is a prestigious and highly elegant wine.

In contrast, Taurasi has well-ripened tannins, making its structure firm yet more approachable.

In the past, it was said that Taurasi needed at least 10 years of aging before it could be enjoyed—its tannins were so strong they could feel almost gripping on the gums.

Today, however, it tends to be more accessible.

We will serve this wine after allowing it to settle a little more.
