2015 Cosimo Taurino "Notarpanaro", Puglia, Italy - 3L JeroboamABOUT THIS WINE "Notarpanaro" is one of Puglias benchmark wines, showcasing the depth and age worthiness of old vine Negroamaro. Sourced from estate vineyards, the wine undergoes extended maceration and aging in both stainless steel and oak, enhancing its concentration and complexity. The 3L Jeroboam format is ideal for long term cellaring, allowing the wine to evolve gracefully over time. ABOUT THIS PRODUCER Cosimo Taurino is a pioneering estate in

about an hour west of the region of Sancerre

Ombra Tinto pairs well with grilled meats

Before the final corking operation

so it was common practice to install the press right in the middle of the vines

that resulted in an abundant harvest

and the wines are fermented exclusively with wild yeasts

Think cherry pits and leather whips

complex yet drinkable reds that vibrate with freshness and energy

as the vineyards hail from the marriage of Richard Fontaine to Jacques Gagnard’s oldest daughter

with extremely low yields

they built a large and high-ceilinged winery

develops on the surface of the wine and helps prevent excessive oxidation
