Nativ Bicento 53 Irpinia Taurasini 75cl

From Nativ in Campania, Nativ Bicento 53 Irpinia Taurasini 2018 is an Aglianico red with 15% ABV. Aged in French oak barriques for 24 months, it shows purple nuances with deeper red reflections and a full-bodied, velvety character.

The nose is strong and complex, with blueberry, cherry, plum, currant and sweet spices, alongside hints of chocolate, oak and earthy notes. On the palate, the structure is firm and generous, with strong tannins and a very long finish. Its depth and dry style make it a natural partner for red meat dishes and mature, aged cheeses.
