The Vadantico Campi Taurasini DOC 2020 is a medium-aged red wine that represents the excellence of Irpinia viticulture. Produced in the Castelfranci hills, this wine is obtained from 100% Aglianico grapes, grown in the vineyards of Contrada Boschetto in Torella dei Lombardi (AV).

Vine variety and production area

Vadantico Campi Taurasini is produced exclusively with Aglianico grapes, an indigenous vine from Campania known for its ability to produce wines of great structure and longevity. The vineyards, located at an altitude of 600 meters above sea level, are between 15 and 20 years old and are cultivated according to the Guyot cultivation system. The planting density is 4000 vines per hectare, with a yield of 80 quintals per hectare. The nature of the soil, clayey and sandy, favors high quality viticulture, typical of mountain areas.

Winemaking Technique

The grapes are harvested and selected by hand in the second ten days of October, in small 15 kg boxes to guarantee the integrity of the fruit. After destemming, the must macerates with the skins at a controlled temperature between 26° and 28° for 20 days. Once the malolactic fermentation is completed, the wine is aged in two phases: one part in third passage barriques and the other in steel for 18 months. Subsequently, the wine ages in the bottle for a further 6 months, thus reaching its full maturity and complexity.
