The sort of Southern Italian red that you could serve confidently with a grilled T-bone steak, the Donnachiara 2016 Taurasi is a rich and beautifully structured wine that reveals layers of red cherry, blackberry, spice, leather and tobacco. The wine shows momentum and staying power thanks to the integrity of the fruit, its freshness and those classic Taurasi tannins. This release of some 10,000 bottles is a powerful but well-balanced wine.
