Description

The Taurasi DOCG from Azienda Agricola Fiorentino is a prestigious red wine that comes from the heart of Campania. Made exclusively from Aglianico grapes, a variety that finds an ideal habitat in this region, this wine is a symbol of Italian oenological excellence. It presents an intense ruby red color, almost impenetrable, hinting at its complex and rich structure.

On the nose, the Taurasi DOCG from Fiorentino stands out with a deep and persistent bouquet, featuring notes of ripe cherry, plum, spices, and a slight trace of tobacco and chocolate, due to maturation in barrique. On the palate, it enters with authority, offering a well-balanced taste between acidity and robust tannins, promising excellent aging potential.

Ideal for accompanying rich dishes such as braised meats, game, and aged cheeses, the Taurasi DOCG also stands out for its long aromatic persistence, leaving an undeniable trace of itself. A wine that represents a perfect choice for lovers of intense and structured reds, to be enjoyed on special occasions.
