Taurasi Riserva, Perillo - 2011

Item # 36429 750 mL

The Perillo estate only releases Riserva level wines, believing that the wine needs extra time aging before it is ready to drink. This older vintage is showing sanguine, blood orange fruit flavors and grippy tannins. An excellent match for osso bucco and wild boar.

So please, close your eyes, and follow your nose. Get lost in this, and it will either change you or take you.

After nearly being wiped out by Phylloxera in the 19th century, the grape is now experiencing a great revival in southern Italy.
