Tasting Notes: The Quintodecimo Taurasi Riserva Grans Cerzito is not a shy wine. This blockbuster of richness and power explodes from the glass, showing why Aglianico is considered one of the great grapes of Italy. This wine draws its fruit from a south-facing site in Mirabella Eclano. The soils were created by falling volcanic ash and pumice and the electric red berries, smoke and well-integrated tannins meld beautifully. Open and decant for two hours before serving.
Estate History: Quintodecimo is located in the mountains known as 'Irpinia' in the heart of the Taurasi DOCG. Endless greenery, lakes and snow-capped mountain peaks where chestnut and oak trees co-exist with organically grown grapes.
Owner, winemaker and professor Luigi Moio was born into an historical family of winemakers in Campania dating back to 1880. After an extended stay in France studying viticulture and winemaking, Luigi returned to Italy in 1994 and in addition to teaching at the University of Naples, undertook the task of winemaker at various prestigious Italian wineries. The urge to break out on his own and make the highest quality wines possible in his beloved home land became too strong to resist, and in 2001 his dream became a reality and thus Quintodecimo was born.
