Taurasi DOCG Vigna Carazita 2008 Russo Taurasi

The Taurasi Vigna Carazita of the Russo Taurasi winery was born in vineyards cultivated on the hills of Irpinia in the Carazita area.

It is produced with pure Aglianico grapes, harvested and selected late at the beginning of November. After a long maceration in tonneaux, the wine ages in French oak barrels for a period of about 30 - 36 months. Maturation is completed with further refinement in the bottle.

Vigna Carazita is characterized by an intense ruby red color. The nose opens with elegant hints of spices and licorice, enriched with notes of jam of small red fruits. On the palate it is full-bodied, harmonious and elegant. It is a wine with a pleasantly long and persistent finish.

Ideal to combine with grilled red meats, it is perfect to serve with mature cheeses.
