Introduction:
The Vigne Guadagno Taurasi DOCG is a distinguished red wine from the Campania region of Italy. Crafted exclusively from the Aglianico grape, this wine exemplifies the depth, complexity, and aging potential characteristic of Taurasi wines.
Terrior:
Sourced from vineyards in Montemarano, situated at an elevation of approximately 550 meters. The loam-clay soils and significant diurnal temperature variations in this area contribute to the development of complex flavors and firm tannins in the Aglianico grapes.

Nose:
Aromas of elegant red and black berries, complemented by notes of cedar and tobacco, reflecting its time spent aging in oak.
Palate:
Linear and structured, with flavors of red and black fruits. The firm tannins and balanced acidity provide a harmonious mouthfeel, leading to a complex and satisfying experience.
Finish:
Persistent and elegant, with lingering notes of dark fruit and subtle spice.

A refined and well-structured Taurasi that showcases the elegance and complexity of Aglianico from Montemarano. Its balance of fruit, tannin, and acidity makes it suitable for extended aging, promising further development and nuance over time.
