Taurasi D.o.c.g.

Overview

The red wine is produced only with Aglianico grapes from our vineyard located in the municipality of Montemarano in the province of Avellino at 450 meters above sea level. The grapes are harvested manually and transported to the cellar in small boxes to avoid crushing the berries. After fermentation, the wine is aged in oak barrels of various capacities for about 12 months, in steel for 12 months, and in the bottle for another 12 months.
