Feudi di San Gregorio Taurasi 2011
Campania, ItalyThe volcanic soils soar through this aglianico, with potent tight minerality, precise acidity and fine, stony texture from top to tail of this generous, classic Campanian red. Dusky anise, leather, tar and scrubby herbs lend grip and interest to the ample, ripe and slightly tuggy tannins, while wild herbs, ripe black cherry, wild plum and blackberry season the generous palate. The finish is long, with five spice, nutmeg and minerality lingering. Twenty-ish year old vines are grown on deep ash and pumice soils, and after 3 weeks fermentation in stainless, this goes into French barrique for eighteen months, followed by nine months more in bottle to settle and smooth.Tasted: 19 August 2016Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $44.99 | 750ml | private wine shops |
