Vesevo Ensis Taurasi 2017
£25.75
The wine
Deep ruby red, with intense red berry fruits and hints of vanilla.
Taurasi is the great red of Campania, made from Aglianico and often called the Barolo of the south for its structure and its demand for patience. It requires three years of ageing before release, four for Riserva. Vesevo takes its Latin name from Vesuvius, and works in Campania where the vineyards sit between 450 and 700 metres in constant airflow off the mountains.
The producer
Vesevo
View all Vesevo winesVesevo takes its name from Vesuvius and captures the volcanic soul of Campania in southern Italy. The estate champions the region's noble native grapes, crafting characterful wines that speak clearly of their sun-warmed, mineral-rich home.
The vineyards lie across the hills of Irpinia and beyond, where volcanic and limestone soils and cooling altitude give the wines both intensity and freshness. Farming focuses on the great local varieties rather than international fashion.
Aglianico is the backbone of the reds, reaching its peak in the structured Ensis Taurasi, while Greco di Tufo and Falanghina show the vivid, saline character of Campania's whites.
Authentic, vibrant and true to their volcanic roots, these are wines of real southern personality. Discover the fire and freshness of Campania.
