About Tenute Capaldo Gulielmus 2015 Taurasi Riserva
Tenute Capaldo is a passion project of Antonio Capaldo, the owner of Feudi di San Gregorio, one of the largest and most respected wineries in Southern Italy. Tenute Capaldo is separate from Feudi, and designed to show off the unique, diverse terroir of the Irpinia region in the central part of Campania. These are very small production wines that showcase the beauty and potential of Southern Italy.
Gulielmus comes from a 2-hectare vineyard in Taurasi, in the Sala district where the soil is clayey and the unilateral guyot vines have been planted with Aglianico in 1992. The harvest is done by hand, between mid-October and early November. After fermentation in steel, the wine ages for 18/24 months in barriques and again in the bottle for over two years.
Wine Enthusiast 95 Points & Cellar Selection
'Aromas of new leather, ripe plum, aromatic herbs and black-skinned berries emerge from the glass. The savory, elegantly structured palate offers dried black cherry, star anise and tobacco alongside a backbone of fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity. Drink 2024–2035. Cellar Selection'
James Suckling 95 Points
'A beautiful, layered Taurasi with crushed-berry, mineral, bark and lava aromas and flavors. Some oyster shell, too. It’s full-bodied and savory with walnut, pumice and ash undertones. Special, unique wine here. Drink or hold.'
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 94 Points
'This is the inaugural vintage of a new wine from this new estate owned by Antonio Capaldo of Feudo di San Gregorio. Always at the forefront of research, experimentation and investment, Capaldo's new project is intended to underline the best in Campania wines. His Tenute Capaldo 2015 Taurasi Riserva Gulielmus (packaged in its distinctive wide-shouldered bottle) is soft and yielding in a manner that the Aglianico grape rarely is. The wine is tart and streamlined with plenty of dark cherry, blackberry, spice and sweet tobacco along the way. The wine is just about ready to drink now, so many years after the harvest, but could also stand to age further.'
