Feudi Di San Gregorio Piano di Montevergine 2007
Campania, ItalyThis Taurasi Riserva Piano di Montevergine is from the vineyard of the same name, symbolic of Feudi di San Gregorio. Here 70-80 year old aglianico vines grow around 400m, facing south, on deep soils layered with ash, pumice and silty sand. After fermentation and three weeks maceration, the wine is pressed and aged for 18 months in medium toasted new French barriques, followed by a further 2 years in bottle prior to release. Though 13 years old, this is most certainly still alive, with a bead of persistent acidity driving through layers of worn leather, dried violets, thorns, dried cherry, pipe tobacco, and wild cassis compote. The palate is big and full, plush and textured with tufted velvet. Tannins are still ample, but thankfully worn with time, leaving more a fuzzy cedar grip in their wake, lingering very long on the palate. A lovely chance to taste aglicanico aging so well. Ideal decanted with wild mushroom risotto or wild boar.Tasted: 04 March 2020Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $63.00 | 750ml | private wine stores |
