This is one of my favorite reds in this tasting of Campania wines. The Pietracupa 2015 Taurasi has terrific balance and a very long, silky texture that is not without power and freshness. You get tons of dark fruit here, with bright cherry, blackberry and kirsch, and earthy tones too, as well as pencil shavings and sweet spice from the oak. If you are looking at Taurasi for your next big red purchase, I highly recommend this standout bottle (in a production of 4,000 total bottles).

The 2011 Taurasi shows some of the heat of the vintage with jammy notes of strawberry and blackberry. The wine shows soft contours and rich consistency with chewy tannins and heavy fruit flavors. Fruit is sourced from the Torre le Nocelle vineyard located 350 meters above sea level. It has thick clay and rocky soils.

A traditional style, delivering dried cherry and cranberry fruit mixed with tarry smoke, bresaola and grilled herb notes. This is dense and well-knit, with supple tannins and an aromatic, lightly floral finish. Drink now through 2023. 210 cases made, 70 cases imported.??–AN??Region: Italy / South / Taurasi Select to Add

Black slate roof, ripe cherry, blackberry pie, leather and tobacco best describe this wine and set the stage for its dark, brooding concentration. The wine is round and harmonious and ends with a bitter note of sour berry.——M.L.(10/1/2008)—— 89
