Borgo San Michele Taurasi DOCG
Borgo San Michele / Irpinia, Campania, Italy
The Heavyweight Campanian Contender Finishing the Circuit
Deep ruby-garnet with maturing brick highlights. The bold, complex nose opens with aromas of dark stewed plums, black cherries, aged leather, dried tobacco leaves, and a distinct touch of smoky earth and licorice. Full-bodied and muscular on the palate, driven by robust, grippy tannins, firm structure, and a long, warming, deeply savory finish.
⭐⭐⭐ (A serious, high-tannin structural powerhouse; demands hearty food and plenty of hydration to keep the next morning clear).
Rich braised meats, slow-cooked stews, game, or aged pecorino cheeses.
Now this is how you bring the Campania tour home! Borgo San Michele's Taurasi is a proper heavyweight, bringing all the structured, brooding power of Irpinia's signature DOCG to the table. It's dark, earthy, packed with leather and dark fruit, and boasts enough tannin to wrestle a steak into submission. An absolute beast of a local finish!
