Feudi di San Gregorio Taurasi 2020

In 1986, two families in Campania's premium Irpinia region (home to world famous Taurasi wines) joined forces to create Feudi di San Gregorio. They helped spearhead a renaissance in southern Italian winemaking, and in particular the use of the region’s amazing native grapes. Top of the list is Aglianico, which shares many of the characteristics of Barolo's great Nebbiolo. Intense cherry fruit, firm but silky tannins and good acidity mean the wines can age for decades. It mellows beautifully in oak too, which you'll taste in this fine red matured for 18 months in barrel. The volcanic soils of the vineyards lend a mineral freshness to this ageworthy red. Best opened early and decant. An ace choice with roasted meats.
