Taurasi Riserva 2009 Villa Diamante 75 cl

Description

History

Destiny had written the meeting between Diamante and Antoine in the hot summer of 1976, when he was on vacation from Belgium and she from America. Their love was born suddenly, overwhelming and united by a deep common passion: wine. This passion led them to found the Villa Diamante farm in 1996. From that first meeting, they never separated again, until life itself, with its cruel unpredictability, suddenly deprived of an exemplary father, a husband affectionate and a fundamental pillar for the company and the enology of the Irpinia region. Her daughter decided to study oenology, to get her hands and boots dirty and to immerse herself in the vineyards to carry on, with the precious support of her mother Diamante, her father’s dream.

Intense ruby red color with garnet hues. The nose shows notes of ripe red fruit, undergrowth, spices and cocoa. In the mouth it is soft, round, juicy, warm with elegant tannins and balanced acidity.
