The 2013 Taurasi by Donnachiara is a richly layered wine with plush tones of black fruit, spice, leather and campfire ash. That firm mineral or volcanic imprint is put forth with elegant intensity here. The wine offers a firm tannic backbone, but there is enough texture and fiber to round off and soften the mouthfeel. Indeed, the tannic management is spot on. Some 10,000 bottles were made.

Lovely aromas of spice box and dried thyme accent the plumped black cherry, smoky mineral, graphite and licorice notes found in this elegant, medium- to full-bodied version. Offers a firm and chewy finish. Drink now through 2023. 667 cases made, 334 cases imported.??–AN??Region: Italy / South / Taurasi Select to Add
