This wine is a model of purity, silky and serene, with polished waves of ripe red and black fruit carried by a stream of vibrant acidity. A saturation of exotic spices develops towards the end. The 2019 finishes long and structured, with a hint of blood orange adding freshness as the violet florals slowly fade. This is the first vintage of the Grand Cru Luigi Moio, which comes from a plot originally used for Terra d'Eclano and planted in 2015. It undergoes the same ageing process as the estate's other Taurasis and spends 24 months in new French barriques.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e97 pts Wine Spectator\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\"This statuesque red, balanced and harmonious, effortlessly combines a concentrated blend of crème de cassis, blackberry paste, cigar box spice, bay leaf, tar, mocha, sassafras root and ground white pepper with muscular, moulded tannins. Although it shows an expressive character today, it is compact and tightly knit. With its backbone of bright acidity, it should give pleasure for many years to come.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94+ pts Wine Advocate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"A production of 2,249 numbered bottles, the 2019 Taurasi Riserva Grand Cru Luigi Moio is the top-shelf red release from this celebrated winemaker and professor. Detail-minded to the extreme, Luigi Moio's namesake wine is an expression of richness, concentration and dark fruit. The 2019 vintage created especially textured wines across the board. Blackcurrant and baked plum cede to good freshness, oak spice and balanced richness.\"\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrape variety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aglianico 100%\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVineyards: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eVigna Quintodecimo plot inside the Quintodecimo estate.
