In the glass, it reveals a deep ruby colour and a broad bouquet, characterised by an elegant \u003cstrong\u003ebalance of small black fruits\u003c\/strong\u003e, violet, tobacco and cocoa. On the palate, it is enveloping, supported by a \u003cstrong\u003ewell-defined freshness\u003c\/strong\u003e that harmonises its profound structure. The \u003cstrong\u003eflavourful and integrated tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e lead the tasting towards an exceptionally long finish, enhanced by notes of sweet spices, making it ideal for pairing with red meats, game and mature cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere does it come from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine originates in Mirabella Eclano from a two-hectare plot known as Vigna Quintodecimo. The vines thrive on \u003cstrong\u003eexpandable clay soil rich in limestone\u003c\/strong\u003e, an ideal condition for imparting precision and aromatic continuity. The vineyard is situated at four hundred and twenty metres above sea level, with an \u003cstrong\u003eoptimal north-west exposure\u003c\/strong\u003e that encourages the gradual ripening of the grapes.

Maturation is completed through careful \u003cstrong\u003eageing in new oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e for a period ranging from eighteen to twenty-four months, endowing the wine with complexity, harmony and a remarkable \u003cstrong\u003ecapacity for long ageing\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result of Luigi Moio's vision for the estate he founded in 2001, \u003cstrong\u003eTaurasi Riserva Vigna Quintodecimo\u003c\/strong\u003e represents one of the highest expressions of Campanian Aglianico.
