A few years after the release of his globally acclaimed Cuvée Luigi Moio, the quiet leader in quality from the up-and-coming wine region of Campania has followed up with a red counterpart to his white wine, setting the standard for the entire region. Luigi observes: "A great wine is a project that must first take shape in the mind and then gradually become a reality through knowledge, creativity, care and patience." SUPERIORE.DE

The 2019 Taurasi Riserva Grand Cru Luigi Moio is produced in a limited run of 2,249 numbered bottles and is the flagship red wine of the renowned winemaker and professor. Luigi Moio's eponymous wine is crafted with meticulous attention to detail and is an expression of richness, concentration and dark fruit. The 2019 vintage has produced particularly well-structured wines across the board. Blackcurrant and baked plum give way to good freshness, oaky notes and a balanced richness." Wine Advocate

"This statuesque red wine, balanced and harmonious, effortlessly combines a concentrated blend of crème de cassis, blackberry purée, cigar box spice, bay leaf, tar, mocha, sassafras root and ground white pepper with muscular, well-defined tannins. Although it displays an expressive character today, it remains compact and tightly structured. With its backbone of bright acidity, it should continue to give pleasure for many years to come." Wine Spectator

"A year after I first tasted it, the 2019 Taurasi Riserva Grand Cru Luigi Moio has taken on a new dimension. Ground cloves, allspice, cedar shavings and incense complicate aromas of wild blueberry and plum. Cooling acidity propels crisp raspberry and sour cherry across seamless textures, while a crunch of minerality adds form toward the close. Tinges of citrus and tart raspberry offset a lavender and violet resonance, as fine tannins add youthful poise. The layers and complexity here are otherworldly. Give the 2019 at least another five years or more to find its perfect footing." Vinous
