SIGNATURE WINES
TAURASI RISERVA 2014
DENOMINAZIONE DI ORIGINE CONTROLLATA E GARANTITA
The Aglianico grapes for the Taurasi Riserva are the best from each harvest and give rise to an important wine that can remain in the bottle for several years, improving in finesse and elegance.
For this reason, Antica Hirpinia has kept a limited number of bottles for several years in the cooler part of the winery, in order to offer this wine for tasting when it is truly ready to be enjoyed.

ANNO DOMINI 1590
A crime of honor is the basis for the choice of this name, as it refers to the year when Carlo Gesualdo, an excellent virtuoso of the lute and a patron of music, but above all Prince of Venosa, Count of Conza, and Lord of Taurasi, killed his first wife and her lover!
