A high-elevation, old school aglianico from the Taurasini sub-region of Campania.  "Campi Taurasini" means "little Taurasi fields," and the wines of this region fall well in line with their namesake.   Aglianico from Taurasini require a less stringent aging protocol, resulting in fresh, fruit-centric aglianico with balanced tannins and plenty of richness.  

Bold and structured, the nose leads with black pepper and leather, while the palate brings concentrated dark fruit and a decidedly meaty finish.
