Wine description

Perillo's Taurasi is nowadays at the top of the quality of the entire appellation. Having vineyards at high altitude, around 500 meters, mainly in the villages of Castelfranci and Montemarano, planted for three quarters around the year 1930, this Taurasi delivers tons of complexity, promising to last for decades. Taurasi Riserva ages 12 months more, than its brother Taurasi, in the winery. This is absolutely a must-have wine.
