Feudi Di San Gregorio Taurasi 2020

The 2020 Feudi di San Gregorio Taurasi is a powerful and classically styled red that serves as a benchmark for the Campania region’s most prestigious appellation. Sourced from estate vineyards in the volcanic, high-altitude hills of Irpinia, this wine captures the "burly" and sophisticated nature of the Aglianico grape. It presents a brilliant ruby red color with garnet reflections and an expressive bouquet of maraschino cherry, black plum, and licorice, interwoven with sophisticated notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and well-balanced, featuring sweet, velvety tannins and a vibrant acidity that reflects its volcanic origin. Matured for 18 months in medium-toasted French oak barriques followed by a minimum of 9 months in bottle, it concludes with a long, savory finish marked by hints of cocoa and balsamic herbs.

92 Points - James Suckling

Black fruit on the nose, such as blackberries and black cherries, followed by walnut, tobacco and bitter-chocolate notes. It’s full-bodied, mellow and supple on the palate, with excellent freshness and drinkability. No need to wait for this one. Drink now.
