Taurasi Riserva Gulielmus 2018, Tenute Capaldo
A monumental red for charisma, power, and stylistic rigor. The olfactory profile alternates noble black fruits with volcanic and spicy mineral notes of extreme refinement. On the palate, it is dense, savory, and characterized by a masterful balance between the strength of Irpinian tannins and the verticality of the sip. A demonstration of style that represents the excellence of Campania.
Taurasi Riserva Gulielmus 2018, Tenute Capaldo
The Taurasi Riserva "Gulielmus" 2018 from Tenute Capaldo (the excellence project of Feudi di San Gregorio) is a monumental work, a tribute to the history and greatness of Aglianico. Born from a selected plot in the municipality of Taurasi, this wine represents the pinnacle of the Capaldo family's quality research, where the strength of the grape variety is sculpted through long aging in wood and bottle. The 2018 vintage has given Gulielmus a sumptuous balance, merging power and elegance. On the nose, it is a symphony of rare elegance: clear notes of sour cherry, black plum, and violet blend with deep hints of dark tobacco, cocoa powder, incense, and a mineral streak reminiscent of graphite and volcanic soil. On the palate, it is powerful, architectural, and sumptuous; the entry is broad, dominated by noble and finely-crafted tannins, with an aristocratic balsamic freshness that extends the sip towards a savory, endless, and vibrant finish.
