Taurasi Riserva Terzotratto Etichetta Bianca 2009, I Favati
A monumental red for charisma, power, and stylistic rigor. The olfactory profile alternates evolved black fruits with volcanic mineral and spicy notes of extreme refinement. On the palate, it is dense, sapid, and characterized by a masterful balance between the strength of time and the verticality of the sip. A stylistic feat that represents the essence of Irpinia.
Taurasi Riserva Terzotratto Etichetta Bianca 2009, I Favati
The Taurasi Riserva "Terzotratto" White Label 2009 from I Favati is a monumental work, the purest and most rigorous expression of the vineyards of Cesinale. This Riserva, produced only in vintages that allow for extraordinary expressive strength, represents the excellence of Giancarlo Favati and the winemaking flair of Vincenzo Mercurio. The 2009 vintage was one of great balance, capable of giving Aglianico a velvety texture without sacrificing its volcanic essence. On the nose, it is a concert of rare elegance: clear notes of dried plum, marasca cherries in spirit, and withered violet merge with deep hints of tar, blond tobacco, cocoa powder, and a mineral trace reminiscent of graphite, ash, and the autumn forest floor. On the palate, it is powerful, architectural, and sumptuous; the entry is broad, dominated by noble tannins refined by long aging, with an aristocratic balsamic freshness that extends the taste to a savory, endless, and vibrant finish.
