Taurasi Vigna Macchia Dei Goti DOCG 2017 Cantine Caggiano

The Taurasi Vigna Macchia dei Goti is made from 100% Aglianico grapes, hand-harvested at optimal ripeness. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel vats with controlled temperatures to preserve the aromatic complexity. Maceration on the skins lasts around 20–25 days to extract colour, tannins, and structure. After fermentation, the wine undergoes ageing in large oak barrels (botte) for 18–24 months, allowing for gentle oxygenation and the development of tertiary aromas, such as tobacco, cocoa, and balsamic notes. Finally, it is bottled with minimal filtration to preserve the wine’s character and ageing potential. This Taurasi shows a deep ruby red colour with garnet reflections. On the nose, it is complex and intense, revealing ripe black fruits such as blackberry and plum, along with spicy notes of black pepper and liquorice, hints of tobacco, cocoa, and a touch of balsamic. On the palate, it is powerful and structured, with firm but well-integrated tannins, lively acidity, and a long, persistent finish featuring dark fruit and spice. A wine of great elegance and ageing potential. Great pairings with braised and stewed beef. Game meat such as wild boar or venison. Roasted lamb with aromatic herbs. Aged cheeses and intense pecorino
