WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Radici Taurasi Riserva 2017 is produced from 100% Aglianico grapes sourced from the Montemarano estate. Following harvest, the wine undergoes fermentation (specific details not provided for this vintage). It is then aged for 30 months in barrel and an additional 42 months in bottle. This extensive aging period is a requirement for Taurasi Riserva wines and is designed to develop complexity and soften the wine's structure. The 2017 vintage's challenging growing conditions necessitated careful fruit selection during harvest.
