    Critical Acclaim

    VIN 96
    Vinous
    The 2015 Taurasi Riserva Primum is drop-dead gorgeous, while also being balanced to a tee. Here I’m finding a complex and layered bouquet, showing masses of black cherry offset by exotic, savory spice, that give way to smoky minerals, sage, rosemary, and a hint of animal musk. It floods the palate with velvety textures, before saturating red and black fruits make a dramatic entrance, encased in a complex web of acids and tannin, yet still somehow showing remarkably fresh and energy. The finish is long, displaying attractive ripe red and blue fruits, yet with a coating of grippy tannin that promises many years of development. All of this, and at 13.5%; what a stunning and perfectly balanced Taurasi. This is a beautiful expression of ancient vine Aglianico from Guastaferro.

    Introduction: The Allure of Aglianico

    Aglianico, pronounced /ælˈjænɪkoʊ/ in English and [aʎˈʎaːniko] in Italian, is a prized black grape variety rooted in Southern Italy, notably in the Basilicata and Campania regions. This venerable grape, akin to Sangiovese and Nebbiolo, holds a prestigious position as one of Italy's finest varietals. Revered as "The Barolo of the South," Aglianico epitomizes sophistication and complexity, qualities that are hallmarks of the esteemed Piedmontese Barolo.

    Historical Insights into Taurasi

    The Taurasi wine region, with its rich tapestry of history, is nestled in the Irpinia sub-region of Campania, Southern Italy. Dating back to 800 BC, it has been under the influential wings of Greek and Roman viticulture, shaping its wine-making heritage over centuries. Despite its ancient roots, Taurasi is also recognized for its modern winemaking prowess, a transformation significantly attributed to the legendary winemaker Antonio Mastroberardino. His groundbreaking 1968 Taurasi not only spotlighted the region but also marked the beginning of its rise in the global wine arena.
