The Donnachiara Taurasi Riserva 'Per Umberto' 2018 offers a complex and "aristocratic" profile, opening with a rich bouquet of blackberry, plum jam, and red fruits layered over sophisticated notes of vanilla, tobacco, and cocoa. On the palate, this full-bodied Aglianico is celebrated for its soft, rounded texture and firm yet pliant tannins, leading into a persistent finish marked by coffee and sweet spices. While its elegance is accessible now with decanting, the wine’s structural depth makes it a prime candidate for long-term cellaring, with experts suggesting it will continue to evolve beautifully for at least 10 to 12 years.
