The Barolo of the south, more or less. One of the better Taurasis I've tried. Mouthful of old world acidity and tannin balanced by wonderful new world earthiness and fruit.

Dark berries, woodsy earth, smooth tannins and just right acidity. Enjoyed it immensely.

In 10 years, this wine is going to be ridiculous. Great now already.

2021/4/21-22 with pork shoulder Neapolitan alla genovese, busciata di tuminia cacio e pepe, etc. Rich with black cherry, iron and spice, but a nice backbone of acid keeping this fresh and tannin giving structure. I am always suspicious of native Italian varieties that see barriques, but it wasn’t intrusive here - whether due to a deft touch, time or both.

Opened up fully after an hour. Fruit came out and came through the tannin. Expressive but you had to wait for it.
