Taurasi DOCG

Aglianico is Campania's great answer to Barolo and Brunello — and the Taurasi from Nativ shows why this grape variety develops so much depth on the volcanic soils around Avellino. The Taurasi DOCG is considered one of the most demanding in Southern Italy, and the mineral-rich soil of cooled lava is noticeably present in every vintage.

In the glass, the wine glows in deep ruby red. On the nose, it opens with ripe cassis, leather notes, and a hint of dried Mediterranean herbs — thyme, rosemary, a touch of tar. On the palate, it confirms its reputation: powerful, densely interwoven tannin supported by a robust, invigorating acidity. The finish is long, spicy, and permeated by a volcanic minerality.

With food, it pairs with braised dishes and strong roasted aromas — wild boar ragù, Bistecca alla Fiorentina, or Parmigiana di Melanzane. Serving temperature: 17–18 °C. If opening it a bit earlier, it is best to give it an hour in the decanter.
