As the name suggests, we are in Taurasi, five hectares owned by the second-generation Lonardo sisters, Enza and Antonella. This is one of the estate’s two crus, with vines up to 60 years old at an altitude of 400 meters. The olfactory profile oscillates between spicy and floral notes, the brightness of the drink, its…
Twelve hectares divided between Castelfranci and Montemarano with centuries-old vines. Felice Perillo, a gifted young oenologist, has never deviated from territorial coherence, respecting the typicality of artisan and authentic Taurasi. The fruit still lingers among the balsamic and garrigue layers. The sip is surprisingly fresh, integral and long. It still has a tale to tell.
An explosion ultra-ripe dark fruits and dried herbs on the nose. Plush and opulent on the palate with voluptuous ripe dark cherry and subtle spicy notes, alongside some toasted oak. Powerful and full-bodied but not without elegance; there are some well-integrated tannins, but this is ready to drink now.
Perfumed with ripe fruits, dried herbs, and a touch of woodsmoke; the palate is rich and opulent, laden with sweet ripe dark fruits.

The nose is beautifully built, racy, precise, straightness and offers a good definition, deepness and a multi-layered character. The wine needs to be decanted.
