Colli di Lapio

Taurasini Donna Chiara is a sunny, juicy Aglianico with a beautiful variety of aromas, harmoniously round compact taste with wonderful spice and well-integrated tannins. SUPERIORE.DE

"There's a rich streak of hot stone and iron underscoring the ripe and juicy blackberry and damson plum fruit on display in this racy medium- to full-bodied red. Hints of herb and spice play on the chewy finish." Wine Spectator

Opulent fruit, sage and thyme. Fresh and very agile, it convinces on the palate until it finally reaches its persistent final. A terroir growth full of character. SUPERIORE.DE

"Nose of tangerine, orange peel, orange pith and dried white flowers. Medium-bodied with good fruit and enough acidity to generate interest on the palate." James Suckling

Alexandros is a beautifully complex and expressive white from Campania. The aromas of light stone fruit, flowers and a fine minerality come together in the harmonious bouquet. Crisp clean taste with a fresh finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"The Colli di Lapio 2019 Greco di Tufo Romano Clelia Alèxandros is fragrant and fresh, showing plenty of those apple and minty pear aromas that are associated with the Greco grape. The wine is contoured and sharp with pretty mineral notes and zesty acidity at the back. Fruit comes from 30-year-old vines planted in calcareous clay soils at a breezy and cool 550 to 600 meters in altitude. Those high elevations really make a huge difference when it comes to quality Greco di Tufo." Robert Parker

Taurasi Vigna Andrea - a rich Aglianico with excellent depth. On the nose, varietal aromas of dark cherries, plums, smoke, cedar and tobacco that develop wonderfully over time. Complex on the palate with a fair amount of velvety tannins, lingering deep and masculine. Beautiful storage and maturity potential. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2015 Taurasi 'Andrea' seems to leap from the glass with an expression of crushed tart cherries with a citrus twist, backed by rosy florals and spice. On the palate, silky textures give way to depths of tart red and black fruits, all perfectly framed by zesty spices, as grippy tannins saturate the senses. The finish is long and structured, staining the senses in dark primary fruit; yet for all its power, there’s a refreshing quality that allows for an early peak into this Taurasi’s future. Well done." Vinous

"Taut tannins and racy acidity define ripe flavors of blackberry and blueberry fruit and accents of Mandarin orange peel and iron in this fresh, firm red. It's medium- to full-bodied, with a fragrant overtone of dried herb and warm spice lingering on the balanced finish." Wine Spectator

Taurasi Vigna Andrea - a rich Aglianico with excellent depth. On the nose it has varietal aromas of dark cherries, plums, smoke, cedar wood and tobacco, which develop wonderfully over time. On the palate complex and with a good portion of velvety tannins, it has a deep and masculine finish. Beautiful storage and maturation potential. SUPERIORE.DE

"Deep ruby. The very balsamic nose offers hints of flint, blackberries and herbs. Then also flinty in the mouth, entering sweet but turning more austere, minty and mineral and revealing nicely persistent eucalyptus nuances. Needs time, as it is still very youthful and chewy, though the tannins are noble." Vinous

"I love how well the meaty and earthy nuances go with the dried-plum and tar accents. The full-bodied palate is very rich and cedary, but there’s a vibrant quality to the fruit and a bright, refreshing edge of acidity runs right through the center palate. Drink from 2021." James Suckling
