Taurasi, undisputedly the great red of the south, rightly referred to as the "Barolo of the south", shows all its power and nobility in Feudi di San Gregorio's interpretation. The pure Aglianico comes from vineyards at altitudes of up to 700 metres, on volcanic soils with basalt, clay and tuff. The result is a brooding, long-lasting red wine with character of origin and high standards.

Dark ruby red in the glass with a purple centre. The bouquet is intense and clearly structured: black cherry, cassis, blackberry, tobacco, roasted coffee, liquorice, tar and a hint of balsamic herbs. The ageing in large wooden barrels and barriques ensures balance and a fine, polished tannin structure. Dense yet cool on the palate, with grippy tannins, deep fruit and mineral freshness. A Taurasi with a modern style and yet a classic soul. Powerful, structured and with ageing potential – an Aglianico with poise and stature that impressively demonstrates the potential of this unique appellation. SUPERIORE.DE

"The nose opens with the peppery earthiness of top soil, graphite and pencil shavings, before sweet blackberries eventually roll out from under the savory. The palate adds a floral sweetness, but also brings plenty more pepper, as well as the crunchy tang of cranberries and tart blackberries. Tannins are big and imposing, but polished." Wine Enthusiast
