This special wine is aged for 18 months in oak and shows a massively long and intense finish, with evolving notes of black fruit, ash, prune, spice, leather and bitter black chocolate. It showcases the hard work achieved by Feudi di San Gregorio over the years. This should age for 10 years or more.

The 2007 Taurasi Riserva Piano di Montevergine caresses the palate with serious intensity, depth and richness. Black cherries, plums, leather, licorice and spices flesh out as the 2007 opens up in the glass. This is a decidedly plush, fruit-driven style, but it works. There is more than enough fruit to stand up to the obvious yet well-balanced oak. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2027.

Rustic yet ripe, exhibiting attractive flavors of blackberry, raspberry and black cherry, framed by grippy tannins. Dense, this is slow to reveal a range of spice box, underbrush and cedar accents. Best from 2014 through 2023.
