Tasting Notes
The 2014 Taurasi Riserva Puro Sangue lifts from the glass with a remarkably pretty display of Aglianico fruit, showing crushed blackberries in an air of smoky minerals, with hints of lemon zest, then leaning more toward the earthy spectrum as notes of undergrowth develop. On the palate, soft textures are excited by vibrant acids, as tart black fruits cascade across the senses over a core of subtle tannins, yet it remains fresh throughout. The finish is long and buzzing with energy, tugging at the cheeks with residual acids, which perfectly balances its youthful structure. This is already enjoyable today, and it should hold up quite well with medium-term cellaring.
