SALVATORE MOLETTIERI Taurasi DOCG 2008 “Vigna Cinque Querce”

HK$510.00

“A finely honed red, with dense, sculpted tannins and a rich, smoky undertow. Flavors of black raspberry pâte de fruit, crème de cassis, grilled herb, beefsteak and ground black pepper are tightly knit now, but should open nicely with some air or age. Best from 2017 through 2030.” – Wine Spectator, 92 Points

“Elegant and toned, the 2008 Taurasi Vigna Cinque Querce is a true gentleman among the unruly group of personalities that make up the Taurasi appellation. This is a standout expression that delivers an enormous sense of balance that is difficult to achieve with a grape that puts so much emphasis on tannins and structure. You get firmness at the back, but Cinque Querce is also supple and smooth in texture. The wine shows great length and purity. If you love Aglianico, don’t miss this wine.” – Wine Advocate, 92 Points

Description
Campania
Campania

Campania is highly recognized by the tourists from all over the world, with the amazing attractions of Amalfi Coast, Mount Vesuvius and Capri island.
There’s also a food scene to be discovered. From pizza-loving Naples to fresh fruits, vegetables and cheeses in the countryside.
The wines of Campania were originally intended as food-friendly table wines but things changed a few decades ago.
The very local white, Greco di Tufo and Fiano di Avellino both have their own DOCGs. The red Aglianico, with deep dark cherry flavors, savory spices and leathery goodness, got its DOCG as Taurasi.

Salvatore Molettieri

Salvatore Molettieri comes from an old farming family and manages his estate together with his son Giovanni, a trained oenologist. The first wine was bottled with the 1988 vintage and their sustainably-farmed vineyards now extend for thirteen hectares in Montemarano, historically one of the two finest crus of the appellation.

“Molettieri owns some of the best-located vineyards in Taurasi and his wines are textbook, uncompromising examples of what Aglianico can do here.” – Stephen Tanzer

“Over the course of four decades, owner-winemaker Salvatore Molettieri has quietly joined the roster of top producers of the local Aglianico grape from southern Italy’s Campania region–specifically its prized Taurasi appellation.” – Wine Spectator’s Top 100 Wines of 2021
