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

"The Colli di Lapio 2018 Greco di Tufo Romano Clelia Alèxandros shows instant freshness and purity with yellow or white fruit aromas of honeysuckle, fragrant peach and passion fruit. The age of the vines (now 25 years old), the altitude of the vineyards (some 550 meters above sea level) and limestone clay soils all contribute to the radiance and tonic accessibility of this Greco. There is a pretty mineral or salty signature on the finish. Only 4,000 bottles were made." Robert Parker

Opulent fruit, sage and thyme. Fresh and very agile it convinces in taste until it finally reaches its persevering finale. A terroir full of character. SUPERIORE.DE

"Golden-tinged yellow. Aromas and flavors of orange juice, tangerine peel, peach and botanical herbs. Dense and juicy, offering fresh flavors similar to the aromas, lifted by harmonious but vibrant acidity and noteworthy salinity. Finishes long and clean with building lemony cut. Because of the hot growing season, the vibrancy and verve of this estate’s best Fiano wines of the past is lacking in this wine; furthermore, it exudes an almost atypical creaminess." Ian d’Agata (vinous.com)

"Wonderful fiano with sliced melon and hints of lemon rind. Hot stones, too. Full-bodied, layered and extremely flavorful with so much fruit and character. Gorgeous." James Suckling

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

"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."

"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
