Description
What kind of wine it is
Perillo Taurasi is a still red wine that expresses the authentic character of Campanian Aglianico grapes. In the glass, it displays an intense ruby red colour, introducing an olfactory profile where aromas of wild berries and oriental spices stand out. On the palate, it is full and enveloping, supported by a solid tannic structure that ensures remarkable longevity. Its intensity pairs perfectly with red meats, pork, and mature cheeses, offering a warm and lingering sip.
Where it comes from
This wine originates in the Taurasi area, specifically in the Calore Valley between the towns of Castelfranci and Montemarano. The vineyards, tended by Perillo, take root in clay soil situated at high altitudes. These pedoclimatic conditions favour a late and consistent ripening of the Aglianico grapes. The uniqueness of the area is enhanced by the presence of ungrafted vines, elements that provide a profound expression closely linked to the territorial vocation.
How it is produced
The winemaking process aims to preserve the integrity and power of the Aglianico. After a careful harvest, the wine matures patiently in wooden barrels, a fundamental step that smooths the tannins and consolidates the structure of the tasting experience. To maintain the rich aromatic complexity, the final stage is carried out strictly without filtration. This precise technical choice enhances the original characteristics of the grape variety, ensuring a dense and concentrated profile on the palate.
History and Curiosities
Produced in the Calore Valley, Perillo Taurasi 2013 embodies a profound family dedication. Born from ancient ungrafted vines of the local “coda di cavallo” clone, this elegant wine offers an authentic expression of Aglianico. Maturation in wood and unfiltered bottling enhance the character of an exceptional vintage, awarded 93 points by Vinous. An oenological masterpiece in limited production, capable of delivering an intense, warm and enveloping sip, destined to evolve magnificently over time.
