Descrizione

The Taurasi DOCG Principe Lagonessa Amarano is born in the uncontaminated hills of Campania, the heart of the Taurasi denomination, where the Aglianico grape expresses all its power and longevity. This prestigious label stands out for a rigorous aging that includes a long period in oak barrels, giving it complexity and structure. In the glass, it presents an intense and deep ruby color, anticipating a bouquet rich in aromas of ripe red fruits, spices, and balsamic notes, with shades of tobacco and leather typical of aging. On the palate, it is enveloping, robust, and well-balanced, with silky tannins and a persistent finish. The Principe Lagonessa is ideal paired with red meats, flavorful roasts, and aged cheeses, enhancing the winemaking tradition of the Irpinia territory. A true interpretation of Aglianico that elegantly tells the fascinating story of Taurasi.

Winery history

Amarano was founded as a family-run estate in the Montemarano area of Alta Irpinia. Public sources report the business began in 2004; management is carried out by family members who oversee both the farming and the winemaking decisions. Over time the estate has focused its production on the area's traditional grape varieties, favoring extended aging for the reds and lees contact for the whites.

Production philosophy

The winery declares a strong connection to the tradition of Irpinia: it primarily produces wine from native grape varieties, maintains low yields, reduces the use of chemical products by adopting integrated pest management protocols, and limits the use of sulfites. In the cellar, stainless-steel fermentations alternate with aging in barriques and large casks to enhance the wines' structure and longevity.

Terroir and vineyards

Located in Montemarano, in the heart of Irpinia, the estate cultivates vineyards situated on hills of predominantly volcanic and sandy origin, at elevations of around 500–700 m above sea level. The area is characterized by marked diurnal temperature variation and soils that enhance acidity, minerality and structure in the wines.
