Molettieri’s Taurasi makes a wine 100% from a south and southeast-facing single vineyard in Montemarano known as Rennono. It’s cold here, and the grapes aren’t harvested until November. As many of you know, 2016 was an exceptionally fine vintage in Italy and the 2016 Rennono is sensational.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 93
"Dusty and darkly floral, the 2016 Taurasi Renonno opens in the glass, mixing rosemary and shaved cedar with black currant aromas. It envelopes the palate with velvety textural waves of ripe fruit. A core of sour citrus and brisk acidity adds a reverberation of tension. The 2016 finishes spicy and with grippy Aglianico tannins. It's a bit short on fruit in its youthful stage, but I’m not worried because this powerhouse is built for the cellar." -Vinous

Wine Spectator

WS 91
"A chewy red, with a sweet note of black licorice winding through black raspberry coulis, fig cake and cured tobacco flavors. Reveals a rich streak of spicy minerality, which underscores the fruity, herbal core and drives the fresh finish."
