TASTING NOTES
Taurasi is one of Italy's most historic volcanic growing regions, with its winemaking origins going back to Greco-Roman times. Luigi Tecce is one of the great traditionalists in the region, forgoing the over-oaked and over-extracted fashion of Taurasi wines from the 80s and 90s for wines of powerful elegance. Black cherries and plums cascade over the palate offering generous fruit, spice and earth with well-integrated tannin and balanced acidity. It's rustic with a charming finesse and calls for venison, braised BBQ ribs or a seared prime rib. Decant to enjoy its full potential.
