Taurasi Piano Di Montevergine Feudi Di San Gregorio

Taurasi Piano di Montevergine Feudi di San Gregorio is a prestigious red wine produced in the Campania region of southern Italy. The Taurasi area is known for its rich winemaking history and production of high-quality wines, thanks to its ideal climate and volcanic and limestone soils. The wine is made exclusively from Aglianico grapes, an indigenous grape variety of the Campania region. These grapes are grown in the Piano di Montevergine vineyards, located at an altitude of about 500 meters above sea level. This elevated location, along with the region's temperate climate, allows the grapes to ripen slowly and develop a wide range of aromas and flavors. The production process of Taurasi Piano di Montevergine Feudi di San Gregorio begins with the harvest, which usually takes place in November. The grapes are then destemmed and fermented in stainless steel at a controlled temperature. This is followed by maceration on the skins for about 20 days to extract maximum color and flavor. After fermentation, the wine is aged in French oak barrels for about 18 months. This aging process in wood allows the wine to develop additional aromas and flavors, and to acquire a more complex tannic structure. Finally, the wine is bottled and left to mature for another 9 months before being released. Taurasi Piano di Montevergine Feudi di San Gregorio is a wine of great structure and complexity, with notes of ripe red fruit, spices, chocolate and tobacco. Because of its richness and depth, it pairs perfectly with red meat dishes, game and aged cheeses.
