Di Meo Vigna Olmo Riserva Taurasi 2015

Vigna Olmo is the cru managed by Roberto Di Meo in the village of Montemarano. The vines are 29 years old, harvested in early November. But the key is the altitude, at about 870 metres above sea level. Restrained notes of cassis and graphite with some bloodiness, then a blood orange flavour with a gianduia aftertaste. This Riserva shines for the refinement of its tannins, the velvety, almost-creamy palate of stunning quality and amazing length, and the tension of its cassis and cigar leaf finish. Great Taurasi. Drinking window: 2023-2040. Score – 95. (Aldo Fiordelli, decanter.com, March 16, 2023)
