2013 Perillo Taurasi DOCG Aged Red Wine

Perillo Taurasi DOCG 2013: Campania’s Cellar-Worthy Aglianico Masterpiece

Experience the soul of Southern Italy with Perillo’s acclaimed 2013 Taurasi DOCG – a powerful expression of pure Aglianico from Campania’s volcanic slopes. Crafted exclusively from this noble varietal, this collector’s red wine embodies decades of regional expertise in every structured sip.

Meticulously produced using spontaneous fermentation in both steel and traditional wooden vats, this wine achieves remarkable depth through extended aging: 20 months gracefully spent in a combination of large casks and barrique barrels is followed by significant additional refinement in bottle before release.

Pouring an intense deep ruby hue into your glass, it unveils an elegantly complex bouquet where ripe cherry and blackberry fruit harmoniously intertwine with distinctive Campanian terroir notes – think volcanic ash essence, damp earth minerality, dark cocoa powder, and subtle licorice spice.

The palate delivers on its aromatic promise with impressive authority: a full-bodied framework supported by dense yet velvety tannins provides superb aging potential. Vibrant acidity cuts through its richness beautifully, offering exceptional freshness alongside concentrated flavor intensity that lingers memorably.
