Taurasi Santandrea
Very deep black and red fruits with hints of blackberries, plums, and cured olives; good acidity, ample smooth tannins and a long finish reminiscent of black cherries, tea, spices, figs, and plums. Best served with roasted meats, game, and fowl.

Warm and inviting nose of lovely sumptuous red fruits and spice with some herbal and cherry blossom floral nuances. Smooth and rounded, very intense on the palate with vanilla and cedary flavors. Long finish.

Aromas of plum, crushed red cherry and red licorice. Medium-to full-bodied with slightly firm tannins. Juicy and fresh, with a generous finish. Red-fruited, with some savory character at the end. Clove, too. Drink now.

“Lots of cracked black pepper and juicy fruit with some dried mushrooms and tea. Full body, round and juicy tannins and a flavorful finish. Drink or hold.”

Fantastic aromas of dark fruits and walnut, sweet tobacco, dark tea and balsamic. Some oysters, too. Full Body, powerful and rich. So much going on here. A great wine from Campania.
