Campanica | Monitoring Italy's Campania region around Naples

THE BRUNOS TAURASI This red wine from the Campania Petilia winery comes from pure Aglianico grapes cultivated in the Taurasi and Paternopoli soils near Avellino: here, vines about 20 years old grow on clayey soils with a good presence of limestone, at about 450 m above sea level. The Bruno family describe their home turf of Irpinia in a poetic way. They call it “luxuriant and hostile to nobles…bastard.” The grapes harvested between late October and early November undergo the classic red vinification process with a long maceration phase in contact with the skins. Ageing takes place in barriques and tonneaux for about 18/24 months. Taurasi Riserva "Tesole" DOCG PETILIA | Ur Italian Wines
