Q

Describe Taurasi DOCG:

A

Taurasi wines are produced in the inland area of Irpinia, in the province of Avellino—a region only a scant 40 miles from the center of the Aglianico del Vulture zone in Basilicata, the grape’s other famous expression. Taurasi wines must be aged a minimum of three years prior to release, with one year in wood. The aging requirement increases to four years—and eighteen months in wood—for riserva wines. Mastroberardino, Terredora and Feudi di San Gregorio exemplify the quality of wines in the region.
