The wine balances opulence with brightness

The wine is aged for 6 years in bottle on its lees

and the 6 year is fresh while having the richness of a brandy twice its age

or after a woodsy hike and a river dip

I Favati Taurasi Terzotratto 2011 Domaine Michel Gros 2022 The wine balances opulence withA full bodied meditation on Campania's most prestigious Aglianico, now well into its evolution. Thirty six months in barrel have softened the early power, revealing layers of anise, tar, and blackberry alongside mineral salinity and hints of mocha. Dusty cherries and white smoke with flowery undergrowth on the nose, while the palate coasts with grippy tannins and notes of salted licorice. Serious wine that rewards contemplation.
