Molettieri, Fonte del Gelso, Taurasi Riserva, 2013
Taurasi is known as the Barolo of the South and has a reputation for producing long lived wines that need time to open up and show their hand. We have shipped a handful of cases of this, Giovanni’s top cuvée. Already thirteen years old, it hails from a very good vintage and was aged for 22 months in oak barriques (half of them new) before spending a further four years in tank before bottling. It is barely showing its age – there’s just a hint of brick red on the rim of the glass – and the cassis and blackberry notes are still fresh. The oak adds a little gloss and polish, rounding out the edges and enriching the fruit. It’s a very impressive wine that carefully balances authentic Taurasi character with sensitive modern winemaking techniques. 14.5%. Now-2033
