The Naturalis Historia Taurasi DOCG 2016 Riserva is a majestic work, which encapsulates the beating heart of the Irpinia land. Coming from the historic Mirabella Eclano estate, this wine is a living homage to the deep roots of a unique volcanic terroir, enriched with nuances of clay and limestone. Aglianico, with its 100% purity, rises here as a symbol of an ancient wine tradition rich in mysteries.
At first visual impact, the intense ruby red color of Naturalis Historia is a prelude to its complexity. A bouquet that opens in a crescendo of aromas: violet, currant, wild blackberry, strawberry, black cherry, chocolate and vanilla intertwine in an olfactory mosaic that fascinates and invites discovery.
On the palate, this Taurasi reveals itself with a rare elegance. Warm and enveloping, its great structure and softness are expressed through nuances of plum, bitter cherry, raspberry, strawberry jam and a delicate spicy touch. The balance between intensity and finesse is surprising, the result of careful vinification and refinement in barriques which enhances every characteristic.
When it comes to pairings, Naturalis Historia is a leading wine. It enhances rich and complex flavours, such as cured meats and mature cheeses, pasta with meat-based sauces, mushrooms, truffles, elaborate red meats and game. It is an ideal companion for important dinners, where each dish is a dialogue with its character.
And finally, the promise of noble and long-lasting aging. This Taurasi is destined to span the decades, evolving and refining its notes, with the prospect of reaching half a century of life while maintaining an extraordinarily rich and complex profile.
Served at a temperature of 18 °C, Naturalis Historia Taurasi DOCG 2016 Riserva is not simply a wine; it is a journey through the centuries of a generous land, a sensorial experience that remains etched in the memory. Health!
