Taurasi Bosco Faiano DOCG - I Capitani

In the glass, the Taurasi Bosco Faiano from I Capitani shows a dense purple-red color. Held at a slight angle, the Bordeaux goblet reveals a charming garnet-red hue at the edges. When swirling the wine glass, this red wine reveals a high viscosity, which can be seen in church windows at the edge of the glass. On the nose, this I Capitani red wine presents all kinds of black cherries, blackberries, blackcurrants, mulberries and plums. As if that wasn't already impressive, bitter chocolate, cocoa bean and cinnamon are added thanks to the ageing in small wooden barrels.

This red from I Capitani is a good choice for all connoisseurs who like as little sweetness as possible in their wine. However, it is never sparse or brittle, as you would expect from a top-quality wine. On the palate, this powerful red wine is characterized by an incredibly melting and dense texture. With its present fruit acidity, the Taurasi Bosco Faiano is impressively fresh and lively on the palate. On the finish, this very storable wine from the Campania wine-growing region finally impresses with its considerable length. Once again, there are hints of blueberry and blackberry.
