Taurasi Promo - Tenuta Del Meriggio

The Taurasi Promo from Tenuta Del Meriggio in Campania presents a dense, purple-red color in the glass. Poured into a red wine glass, this Old World red wine displays wonderfully complex aromas of sour cherry and plum, rounded off by licorice and black pepper contributed by its maturation in wooden casks.

The Tenuta Del Meriggio Taurasi Promo presents itself to the wine lover as wonderfully dry. This red wine never appears coarse or austere, as one might expect from a wine of this type. On the palate, this powerful red is characterized by an exceptionally meaty, crisp, silky and dense texture. The finish of this wine from the Campania wine-growing region delights with a lovely length. Once again, nuances of sour cherry and plum appear. In the aftertaste, mineral notes from the clay- and sand-dominated soils join in.

Vinification of the Taurasi Promo from Tenuta Del Meriggio

This wine clearly focuses on a single grape variety, namely Aglianico. For this exceptionally powerful varietal wine from Tenuta Del Meriggio, only flawless grape material was harvested. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in Campania. Here, the vines drive their roots deep into clay and sandy soils. After the harvest, the grapes are brought to the winery as quickly as possible. There, they are sorted and gently crushed. Fermentation in large wooden casks at controlled temperatures then follows. After fermentation, the powerful Taurasi Promo is aged for another 36 months in oak barrels.
