About this product
The reference point for Taurasi — 'Radici' (roots) honours both the vine's roots in volcanic soil and the family's deep commitment to the variety. Aglianico from 40-year-old vines at 500m altitude, aged 3+ years in large Slovenian oak and French barriques. Opaque ruby; tar, black cherry, tobacco, dark chocolate, volcanic mineral, and extraordinary tannic structure. Needs 10–15 years; lives for 30+.

Taurasi's fierce tannin and volcanic acidity requires the rich protein of slow-braised lamb to tame its structure; the wine's cherry-tar character harmonises perfectly with a long-cooked ragù.

complement
Aglianico's dense tannin and volcanic mineral depth is the classic companion to aged beef; the rosemary resonates with the wine's own herbal-tobacco character.

The wine's volcanic mineral depth and firm tannin cuts through the hard sheep's cheese; truffle honey bridges Taurasi's earthy tobacco character to the cheese's crystalline sharpness.
