The Salvatore Molettieri Taurasi Vigna Cinque Querce 2012 is a remarkable expression of Aglianico, hailing from the esteemed Taurasi region in Campania, Italy. Scoring an impressive 95 points from Wine Spectator, this wine captivates with its deep, ruby color and complex bouquet of dark cherries, dried herbs, and a hint of leather. On the palate, it reveals layers of rich black fruit, velvety tannins, and a touch of earthiness, all balanced by a bright acidity that carries through to a long, satisfying finish. This vintage shines as a perfect companion for hearty dishes like braised lamb or a rich mushroom risotto. Given its strong ratings and original retail price of $65, this bottle is a smart buy for those seeking quality and depth in their wine collection.
