Tasting notes

The 2019 Taurasi Riserva Paterico draws the taster in as it slowly unfolds in the glass, mixing ashy crushed stones with notes of forest floor, dried violets, blackcurrants, and exotic spices. It’s dense and still youthful but already highly complex. A silky wave of ripe red and black fruits flows across the palate, building energy and grip toward the finish. The 2019 excels through its acidity, lively and incredibly fresh. Hints of blood orange resonate over a layer of fine-grained tannins, with savory nuances of sage and olive lingering long after. Today, it can be admired for its potential alone, but patience will be needed to see it fully blossom over time.
