Taurasi "Padre" DOCG - Company: Enza's Winery

The Taurasi " Padre " DOCG wine, the identity of the company, follows a very rigorous production process that starts with 12 months of fermentation in large chestnut barrels, a further 12 months of refinement in small exhausted oak barrels (after 20 years of honorable service) and 12 months of refinement in bottles closed with a single-piece natural cork before being marketed. Taurasi "Padre" DOCG is the father of the wines of the Enza winery as well as of the wines in Irpinia. Taurasi "Padre" DOCG is the expression of the territory and precisely of the municipality of Montemarano.
