This wine is said to be unique because it is produced only in Taurasi, a village in the Campania region of Italy.

The DOCG red wine is made with 100% Aglianico grapes. The soil is calcareous clay. The grapes are crushed and left to ferment for one month. It is aged in oak barrels for 30-36 months, then in bottle for at least 10-12 months. Tasting note: “Dry, full, harmonious, with a persistent after taste.”
