It highlights a perfect harmony between acidity and tannins, which blend beautifully with flavors of ripe fruit and nuances of tobacco and dark chocolate. The finish is long and seductive, leaving a lingering feeling of fullness and complexity.

Ideal for accompanying rich dishes like braised meats, red meat stews, and game, the Aglianico DOCG "Mito" by Amato Taurasi is also surprisingly harmonious with aged cheeses and mushroom-based dishes. Its power and elegance make it an ideal candidate for long-term aging in the cellar, promising to evolve beautifully over several years.

In summary, "Mito" is a wine that offers an intense tasting experience, reflecting the unique character of the Taurasi terroir and is a testament to the quality and passion that the Amato Taurasi winery dedicates to the production of each bottle.
