On the nose, it releases intense aromas of morello cherry jam and dark fruits, enriched by elegant hints of vanilla, anise and nutmeg. The palate reveals a \u003cstrong\u003edense structure\u003c\/strong\u003e and concentration, where \u003cstrong\u003evelvety tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e harmonise with enveloping notes of chocolate and bitter cocoa. A long and persistent finish makes this red the ideal choice to accompany \u003cstrong\u003emature cheeses\u003c\/strong\u003e, dark meats and hearty wild boar stews.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe origins of this wine lie in Irpinia, on the north-west facing slopes of Paternopoli, the chosen land of Taurasi. The vineyards, cultivated at five hundred metres above sea level, thrive thanks to an \u003cstrong\u003eideal microclimate\u003c\/strong\u003e, characterised by wide temperature variations that intensify the aromatic expression of the grapes. The roots of the vines sink into typical \u003cstrong\u003evolcanic soil\u003c\/strong\u003e, enriched with limestone and clay components, which gives the sip great firmness. These precise natural conditions ensure the wine has \u003cstrong\u003eremarkable longevity\u003c\/strong\u003e, allowing it to evolve beautifully over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter the manual harvest in November, the grapes undergo maceration for about twelve days. The subsequent fermentation is partially activated by \u003cstrong\u003eindigenous yeasts\u003c\/strong\u003e, while malolactic fermentation is completed entirely in French oak to smooth the flavour profile. Ageing consists of fourteen months resting in \u003cstrong\u003eFrench oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, followed by a further twenty months maturing in the bottle. This meticulous process fixes a deep ruby colour, delivering a tasting experience enhanced by \u003cstrong\u003elively tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e and perfect balance.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVinosia Taurasi Santandrea is a prestigious \u003cstrong\u003eTaurasi DOCG\u003c\/strong\u003e produced in the heart of Irpinia, a land where ancient native grape varieties express the excellence of the so-called “Barolo of the South”.
