Wide known as “Barolo of the south”, Taurasi is the pinnacle of the grape Aglianico. With high altitudes and volcanic soils that ensure warm ripening days and cold nights, Taurasi is a big, but elegant wine with ripe flavours and generous tannins, yet a high acidity to balance out all of the flavours. Aromas of chocolate, game and dried flowers follow the long, lingering aftertaste.
Variety: 100% Aglianico

Sanpaolo winery was founded in 2006 by Claudio Quarta, and is named after a village of San Paolo di Tufo, in which it is located in. Specialised in indigenous grapes such as Fiano, Greco and Aglianico, it works in an eco-friendly manner using a photovoltaic system, making it energetically autonomous. The vineyards are a composition of small, hillside parcels influenced by the ashes of the Somma Vesuvius volcano on up to 700m of altitude, which results with unique wines with distinct flavours and a delightful acidity.
