The Taurasi Puro Sangue Campania Aglianico 2018 by Luigi Tecce is an impressive wine made exclusively from the Aglianico grape variety. This grape variety is known for its deep, intense aromas and its ability to produce powerful and long-lasting wines.
The Puro Sangue 2018 shows an intense ruby red in the glass. On the nose, a complex bouquet of ripe dark fruits such as black cherries and plums unfolds, accompanied by spicy notes of cloves and cedarwood as well as a subtle smoky note. On the palate, the wine is structured and full-bodied, with strong, well-integrated tannins, lively acidity and a long
, harmonious finish.The grapes for this wine come from old vines in the Paternopoli and Castelfranci sub-regions, which grow on sandy-loamy limestone soils with volcanic influences. The harvest is done manually and the fermentation takes place in open chestnut barrels over 40 days. The wine is then aged for 12 months in large 500-liter barrels and a further 24 months in large wooden barrels before resting in the bottle for at least 24 months. These traditional methods add to the deep complexity and structure of the wine
.The climate in Campania is Mediterranean, with warm summers and mild winters, which allows the Aglianico grapes to ripen ideally. The altitude of the vineyards and the cool nights contribute to the freshness and balance of the
wine.
