Cosimo Taurino "Notarpanaro" 2013

The Taurino family has been growing grapes and making wines in Puglia for seven generations, but it was Francesco Taurino who started the family business after World War II. These are extremely soulful, rustic wines that speak of their sunny origin. Flavors of black plum, fig and black cherries, along with an intense earthy minerality. They release the wines with significant bottle age, which allows the flavors to meld and coalesce in the most beautiful way. Serve with a hearty, meaty pasta.
