"Intense ruby red color with slight garnet reflections. Vinous bouquet with a delicate scent of currant, moderately spicy. Dry, savory and persistent flavor, very pleasant in its harmony." —winemaker
"Fresh and well-meshed, this is a medium-to full-bodied red, with creamy tannins and a rich note of smoke-tinged mineral underscoring the lovely range of ripe black cherry, dried thyme and fig cake flavors and hints of ground cumin and white pepper. This is round and finely balanced, with a long, lingering finish that echoes the spice and mineral detail. Expression of this exceptional land and of one of the most important Italian grapes." —winemaker
"Sanpaolo Claudio Quarta Taurasi 2016 presents itself in a mesmerizing ruby red hue with subtle garnet undertones. The wine's olfactory journey is marked by an intense background featuring mineral nuances reminiscent of gunpowder and iron. Dark tones of tobacco, black pepper, and bitter cocoa unfold, leading to a subtly balsamic finish. On the palate, this wine reveals character through a harmonious interplay of good freshness and long, persistent tannins, making it a compelling and memorable tasting experience." —winemaker
