Feudi di San Gregorio 2009 Taurasi Riserva, Piano di Montevergine

A rare treat! Here is gently aged Riserva that's at a peak of enjoyment. Feudi Di San Gregorio produces this Taurasi Riserva using grapes entirely from the single Piano di Montevergine vineyard. These exceptional 100% Aglianico grapes fermented and macerated over three weeks. The wine was then aged in French barriques and large casks for 24 months and the was aged an additional 24 months in bottle before release.

The Wine Advocate scored this 94 points saying "The impressive 2009 Taurasi Riserva Piano di Montevergine comes from a two-hectare single-vineyard site with 30-year-old vines. The wine ages in barrique and botti for up to 24 months. The style displayed is thick and penetrating with beautifully contrasting themes of dark fruit and spice. Blackberry and Morello cherry are enhanced by cinnamon and dark chocolate. That plush, international style that Feudi di San Gregorio has so effectively perfected is on proud display in this gorgeous wine."

On release Wine Enthusiast Magazine scored this 91 points and said "Aged in both barriques and large casks, this hearty Taurasi opens with aromas of toasted oak and ripe black fruit. The palate slowly opens up to reveal dense black cherry layered with chocolate, toast and Mediterranean spices, alongside drying tannins. Give this time to open up and fully develop. Drink after 2019." The review suggests letting this wine "open up and fully develop", well, that's exactly what we've done and this beauty is ready to deliver and On SALE!!
