Luigi Tecce, Campania,
Ready, but will keep,
This wine is proof that the South had the best of 2008’s weather. Luigi talks of his Taurasi making itself in this vintage with the combination of heat and sufficient water delivering fruit that is both ripe and beautifully balanced. It is fine and ripe with a cherry intensity, whilst being delicate and ethereal too. This is quite difficult to read at such an early stage of its life but it is certainly a prodigious wine and one to stick away while you enjoy the earlier drinking ‘Campi Taurasini’.

Luigi Tecce, Campania,
Ready, but will keep,
Due to the mild weather conditions, and rain during September and October, Luigi had to work hard in the vineyards; thankfully his old vines were left unfazed by the humidity. Ironically, this has treated us to more of a Piedmontese Taurasi. For the colour is paler than normal, while the nose remains delicate, intricate, mentholated; the palate energetic with great raspberry tension and zip. It even has something of Serralunga (Barolo) about it… but with an even sunnier side. Made from only Paternopoli, old vine fruit, macerated/punched down for 40 days in large open chestnuts tubs, followed by 12 months tonneaux, and 12 months botte grande.
