ORGANOLEPTIC PROFILE : Taurasi is a red wine of great tradition with a strong and consistent ruby ​​color. Refined olfactory profile traced by fruity perceptions, cherry and plum, spicy notes of cloves and pepper, structured with tannin monopolizing the tasting that slowly leaves room for the acidic pressure and very pleasant smoky and vegetal flavors.
