is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
From the heart of the Taurasi DOCG in Campania, Salvatore Molettieri’s 2015 "Cinque Querce" is a stunning expression of Aglianico. This wine embodies the deep, robust character of the grape, offering a beautiful balance of dark fruit, earthiness, and complexity, ideal for those who appreciate wines with structure and aging potential.
The nose opens with aromas of black cherries, plums, and dried figs, intertwined with earthy notes of tobacco, leather, and a hint of spice. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and powerful, with ripe dark fruit flavors complemented by smooth tannins and vibrant acidity. As it evolves, the wine reveals layers of complexity, including mineral nuances and subtle hints of cocoa. The finish is long and refined, leaving a lingering impression of dark fruit and earthy depth.
Perfect for pairing with rich, savory dishes like roasted meats, braised lamb, or a hearty mushroom risotto, this Taurasi "Cinque Querce" will continue to develop beautifully over the years. It’s drinking beautifully now but will reward those who have the patience to cellar it for a few more years.
