2016 Luigi Tecce Taurasi Riserva Poliphemo Vecchie Vigne
Luigi Tecce’s Taurasi wines are produced in Campania using Aglianico grapes sourced from vineyards of exceptional age—ranging from 80-year-old vines to centenarian “vine-trees” historically planted by his grandfather, with some vineyards managed organically. The winemaking process employs extended macerations in open vats and fermentation in chestnut barrels for certain releases, followed by an aging period of 24 months in medium-sized barrels. Some bottlings carry the Riserva designation, underscoring traditional production methods and the winery’s Triple “A” credentials.

Farming
Fermentation
Extended maceration is carried out in open vats and in open‐top chestnut tini (or chestnut barrels), with primary fermentation lasting around 40 days. Following fermentation, racking into large, old botti is employed for a second year of wood contact.
Aging
The wine is aged 12 months in 500L puncheons and 24 months in either 50HL wooden botti grandi or medium‐sized barrels, followed by a minimum of 24 months in bottle before release.
