Scudiero Taurasi DOCG Red Wine

Lo Scudiero Taurasi DOCG is a red wine produced by the Altavigna winery in Irpinia, Campania, Italy.

Lo Scudiero is an Aglianico wine made from red berried grapes grown on volcanic soils. It is a 100% Aglianico wine that falls under the Taurasi DOCG classification, one of the most important denominations in Southern Italy.

The grapes are harvested in the first ten days of November and fermentation takes place at controlled temperatures. Lo Scudiero wine ages for at least 36 months, of which 12 in French oak barrels.

The color is an intense ruby red. The aroma and taste are intense and fruity; on the nose it is distinguished by a marked aromatic complexity, with hints of licorice, spicy notes and red fruits tending to the spicy. On the palate it is dry, with great structure and elegance, with soft tannins and an exceptional persistence. In addition to its intensity, what strikes one about Lo Scudiero is certainly its persistence, a more than valid reason for avoiding drinking it young and giving it the right time.
