The fruit for this Aglianico is sourced from vineyards of over 40 years old. The wine then spends 16 months barrel ageing in a particular selection of French oak. Vesevo Taurasi is characterized by an ample and profound bouquet showing spice, floral notes and wild berries combined with mineral. Outstanding minerality and important tannins. Remarkable long finish. Best paired with T-Bone steak, also perfect with dishes with truffles.
