Guastaferro Taurasi 'Primum' Riserva DOCG 2017
Vintage Character
The 2017 Taurasi Primum Riserva from Guastaferro is a compelling showcase of Campania’s iconic Aglianico, sourced from old, ungrafted vines rooted in the volcanic and clay soils of the Taurasi DOCG. The 2017 vintage in Taurasi was characterized by a warm, dry growing season, which led to concentrated fruit flavors and firm tannic structure—attributes that make this Riserva especially attractive to enthusiasts of bold, age-worthy reds.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
Awarded 93 points by Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, the wine opens with pronounced aromas of black cherry, plum, leather, and smoky spice, complemented by subtle notes of licorice and balsamic. On the palate, it reveals layers of rich dark fruit, earthy undertones, vibrant acidity, and finely textured tannins that culminate in a persistent, elegant finish. Its robust character makes it an ideal match for slow-braised beef or lamb, Neapolitan ragù, and aged cheeses such as Grana Padano. For those seeking a touch of Asian influence, it also pairs beautifully with braised pork belly in soy and star anise, adding versatility to its food pairing repertoire.
Winery Background
Guastaferro is a family-run estate with deep roots in the Taurasi region, celebrated for its commitment to preserving century-old pre-phylloxera Aglianico vines in the Piano d’Angelo area. The winery’s philosophy emphasizes minimal intervention and a strong respect for terroir, allowing the unique qualities of each vintage to be fully expressed. Through meticulous vineyard management and a patient, hands-off approach in the cellar, Guastaferro crafts wines that are both authentic and deeply reflective of their origin. Their dedication to indigenous grape varieties and old-vine cultivation has established them as one of Taurasi’s most distinctive and respected producers, consistently delivering wines with remarkable character and longevity.
