Eleusi is a gorgeous and opulent wine with natural intensity that sees no limits. The aromas are penetrating and rich and include dried apricot, chestnut honey, acacia flower and candied fruit. The mouthfeel is silky smooth and the finish lasts forever. Beautiful.

This 100% Aglianico from Campania offers layers of lavender, dark fruits, eucalyptus, mint and clove in its intoxicating bouquet. Sweet vanilla cream adds to the richness of this skillfully balanced wine that you can drink now or hold for another 10 ten years. Cellar Selection.

What sets this Taurasi apart is a distinct floral note of blue flower or pressed rose that sits over a much broader and bolder base of dark spice, black fruit, prune, resin and cola. The little floral accent adds a feminine touch to what is without a doubt one of Italy’s most masculine wines.

Dark in color and deep in concentration, this is a ripe Aglianico-Piedirosso (80-20) blend with tones of mature red cherry, beets, roasted peanut, espresso and roasted red pepper. It’s a big wine in every sense with a sticky, almost syrupy consistency, power and firm tannins.

Produced by the ancient Romans, Falerno may be the world’s oldest wine that still enjoys vibrant consumption to this very day. Aglianico (80%) and Piedirosso are blended to produce a richly layered and complex wine, featuring tones of black fruit, mineral and smoked barbecue sauce. It shows aged aromas of cassis and spice.

Dark and brooding, this muscular wine offers spice, leather, tobacco, plum and cola. It is thick and dense with rock-solid tannins and gritty texture. Like most Taurasis it has a nervous quality, and will pair best only with very succulent cuts of beef. This is a new wine from Villa Matilde.
