Taurasi DOCG

Taurasi is considered the great red wine of Southern Italy — and the Aglianico from Villa Raiano shows why this DOCG deserves its reputation. Powerful body, dark fruit, a structure that demands aging.

Villa Raiano is located in the heart of Campania, in the Sannio hills not far from Benevento. The winery has been working with the indigenous Aglianico grape for decades, which unfolds its full depth on the volcanic soils of the Taurasi zone. Twelve months of aging in oak barrels give the wine its structured framework without taming the variety's typical wildness.

In the glass, it shows a deep ruby red. On the nose, blackberry and mulberry, plus cocoa, dry tobacco, and a fine menthol note that brings fresh tension. On the palate, it is full-bodied, with dense but silky tannins and a taut acidity that keeps the finish long and lively.

Decant for one to two hours. Serving temperature 17–18 °C.
Pairs with: braised lamb, game ragù on wide noodles, aged Pecorino, or hard wheat bread with dark olive paste.
