Crafted under Luigi Moio’s vision, it combines the grape’s natural power and longevity with remarkable precision, making it one of the most compelling interpretations of Taurasi. Its depth, refined tannins and extended oak maturation give it excellent potential for long-term cellaring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe wine displays a deep ruby-red colour, with an intense bouquet of black berries, violets, tobacco and cocoa, complemented by subtle sweet spice. On the palate, it is full-bodied and enveloping, yet focused by well-defined freshness. Flavours of dark fruit and spice are framed by substantial, polished tannins that have been carefully integrated through maturation. The finish is exceptionally long and persistent, with a harmonious balance between fruit, savoury depth and oak. This is a Taurasi built to develop for many years— and potentially decades— in bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe grapes come from Vigna Quintodecimo, a single vineyard in Mirabella Eclano planted on expansive clay soils rich in limestone. Located at approximately 420 metres above sea level and facing north-west, the site encourages a gradual ripening process that supports aromatic definition and balanced tannins. The Aglianico grapes are harvested by hand in the second half of October at full phenolic maturity, with careful sorting before and after destemming. Fermentation takes place under temperature control for 20–25 days to extract colour, structure and concentration, followed by 18–24 months of maturation in new oak barrels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA natural partner for richly flavoured dishes, this Taurasi is particularly well suited to grilled or braised red meat, game, roasted lamb and mature hard cheeses. Serve at approximately 16–18°C, allowing the wine to open gradually in the glass. Decanting for one to two hours is recommended when enjoying the wine young, both to soften its structure and to reveal its layered aromas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFounded by Luigi Moio in 2001, Quintodecimo is dedicated to expressing the character of Campania’s most important native grapes through carefully defined vineyard sites. The estate’s Vigna Quintodecimo represents a highly individual expression of Aglianico, with low yields, precise vineyard management and extended maturation central to its style. Its combination of single-vineyard character, meticulous craftsmanship and outstanding ageing potential has established Quintodecimo among the region’s leading producers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Quintodecimo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54695166247249,"sku":"XW-62391","price":178.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.com\/products\/quintodecimo-taurasi-vigna-quintodecimo-2021","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
