Taurasi Riserva Quindicianni 2005, Michele Perillo
A monumental red for charisma, power, and stylistic rigor. The olfactory profile alternates between mature black fruits and volcanic mineral notes with exquisitely refined tar hints. On the palate, it is dense, savory, and characterized by a masterful balance between the strength of age and the verticality of the sip. A display of style that represents the absolute pinnacle of Irpinia.
Taurasi Riserva Quindicianni 2005, Michele Perillo
The Taurasi Riserva "Quindicianni" 2005 by Michele Perillo is a monumental work, a unique creation in the global wine landscape. This label was born from Perillo's desire to showcase the legendary aging potential of Aglianico di Castelfranci, allowing the wine to rest between wood and bottle for an exceptionally long period before release. The 2005 vintage has found in this extreme aging a kind of architectural opulence. On the nose, it is a symphony of rare elegance: clear notes of plum jam, kirsch, and withered rose blend with deep hints of tar, black truffle, cigar box, volcanic ash, and a mineral trail reminiscent of graphite and rust. On the palate, it is powerful, majestic, and opulent; the entry is broad, dominated by dense and noble tannins, now softened by time but still incredibly vibrant, with an aristocratic balsamic freshness that stretches the sip towards a savory and endless finish.
