The cellar

The Taurasi wine originates from Campania, precisely from the Province of Avellino , whose birth is to be placed in the pre-Roman era, as for most of the wines of the southern part of Italy. Produced from a main vine of Greek origin called Aglianico, it is to be considered one of the best wines of the Italian south, even if it is not very well known.

Aglianico is a precious red grape variety typical of Southern Italy, in particular of Basilicata and Campania. The vines prefer hilly but above all volcanic, clayey and calcareous territories from which they derive the extraordinary minerality. Climatically, Aglianico needs breezy hills and winters that are not too harsh, just as it suffers from excessive heat and drought. Aglianico is not an immediate wine, you have to give it time. To begin to express its qualities it must age from 3 to 5 years (depending on the type) even if it gives its best from 10 years of aging . The refinement takes place in oak wood, but there are also those who use the barrique, with consequent enhancement of the aromas

The Coda di Volpe vine is an ancient white grape variety from Campania The name “ Coda di Volpe ” derives from the Latin “Cauda Vulpium”, an expression that associates the characteristic shape of the bunch with that of the fox's tail . Coda di Volpe has gone from being a minor vine to be used for blending with other varieties of the area to become a real and much appreciated wine thanks to the commitment put in place by Campan i winemakers.

The wine is very original because it derives from a vine, unknown to most people, the Coda di Volpe Rossa ; this grape has practically disappeared in Irpinia. The Coda di Volpe Rossa variety is still present in some strains in Irpinia since the vines cultivated for family use have preserved its removal; in fact, the vines are generally conducted in the traditional forms of starseto (pergola avellinese), radial or foot. Its name derives from the Latin “Cauda Vulpium”, due to the characteristic shape of the long, tapered and compact bunch that recalls the tail of the fox.
