Elegant and refined expression of Taurasi aglianico with red and black berries, against a background of clay-like minerals and a touch of leather. A citrus note adds freshness both on the nose and palate. Full-bodied with firm, fruit-coated tannins that remain vivid rather than chewy. Long, fresh finish. Drink from 2023.

From a hot and dry vintage, the Feudi di San Gregorio 2017 Taurasi sources its fruit from a site with volcanic soils at a breezy 450 to 550 meters in elevation. As expected, the quality of fruit is slightly darker and baked with dried blackberry, plum and scorched earth. This full-bodied red offers volume and tight structure.

The 2017 Taurasi leads off with a mentholated herbal lift that evolves into a blend of musky black currants and suggestions of clove. This flows across the palate, sleek and with medium-bodied weight, as citrus-tinged plum and balsamic spice slowly saturate. It finishes long with a web of fine tannins that tug at the cheeks as tangerine and crunchy mineral tones gradually taper off. The tannin management is fantastic here, especially considering the warm and dry conditions of the vintage.
