Joaquin Taurasi Riserva Della Societa DOCG 0.75L

Taurasi Riserva is the supreme discipline of Campania — and the Joaquin "Della Società" shows why. 100% Aglianico from own-rooted old vines at an altitude of 550 meters in the high valley of Paternopoli: volcanic soils, cool nights, extreme slopes. These conditions are exactly what shape a red wine with backbone and depth.

In the glass, it shows deep ruby red with a dark core. The nose opens with black cherry, pomegranate, and dried violets, underneath an earthy undertone of graphite and tar — typical for Aglianico at this altitude. On the palate, dense but fine-grained tannins, lively acidity, and a long, spicy finish with hints of licorice and tobacco.

Pairs well with wild boar ragù, braised lamb shank, or a strong Pecorino from the south. Serving temperature: 17–18 °C, ideally decant one hour before pouring — this gives the tannins time to open up and release the fruit.
