The 2016 Taurasi Riserva Vigna Quintodecimo reveals a rich and silky texture. Any rough edges have been adequately softened and ironed out with barrique age. The management of the tannins is superb with this vintage of Aglianico. The wine's steady presence offers a taut sounding board for dark fruit aromas, oak spice, campfire ash and sweet, earthy afternoons. The aromas are presented with spicy and vertical intensity. This lovely wine would cozy up nicely to a classic steak with green pepper sauce.

About this wine
Quintodecimo's Vigna Quintodecimo stands among Campania's finest expressions of Aglianico, a noble grape indigenous to southern Italy. Produced in the Taurasi DOCG region, one of Italy's most prestigious appellations for red wine, this reserve bottling reflects the estate's unwavering commitment to quality and terroir-driven winemaking. The volcanic soils and continental climate of Taurasi impart remarkable structure and complexity to the wine, creating a profile that balances power with elegance.
This Aglianico-based red showcases the varietal's signature peppery and spicy character alongside earthy undertones and layers of black fruit. The wine's silky texture and lean structure make it remarkably food-friendly, pairing beautifully with lamb, beef, venison, and game birds. It also complements rich mushroom-based dishes and aged charcuterie, making it an ideal choice for sophisticated entertaining aboard yachts, in mountain chalets, or at fine dining tables.
The Taurasi DOCG designation demands rigorous production standards and extended aging, ensuring wines of remarkable depth and aging potential. Quintodecimo's dedication to preserving the authentic character of this historic region makes their Vigna Quintodecimo a benchmark for serious collectors and discerning wine enthusiasts seeking authentic Italian terroir.
