Tenuta Scuotto Taurasi

Taurasi DOCG stands proudly as a appellation within Irpinia, marking the first DOCG of Southern Italy. This wine showcases the esteemed Aglianico grape variety, representing 100% of its composition. The terroir, characterised by calcareous marls, volcanic deposits, and limestone, imparts distinct qualities to the wine. Firm tannins from the limestone and a subtle smokiness from the volcanic soil intertwine, adding complexity to the flavour profile.

According to regulations, these wines must undergo three years of ageing before release, with at least one year spent in barrels. However, they opt for a lengthier bottle ageing process, prioritising elegance and a velvety texture. This extended ageing period allows the wine to mature gracefully, enhancing its finesse and depth of flavour.
