Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The 2013 Taurasi by Donnachiara is a richly layered wine with plush tones of black fruit, spice, leather and campfire ash. That firm mineral or volcanic imprint is put forth with elegant intensity here. The wine offers a firm tannic backbone, but there is enough texture and fiber to round off and soften the mouthfeel. Indeed, the tannic management is spot on. Some 10,000 bottles were made.

Producer Information

Chiara was born in “Irpinia” region and she was raised on an Aglianico vineyard, family-owned since ‘800. She grew to love these charming lands, This passion was passed on across the family, woman to woman for 5 generations, now to ilaria petitto, chiara’s daughter, only responsible today of keeping alive this family tradition made of magic scents and atmospheres. From this love and respect springs new winery, a small but precious jewel. Located in this spectacular land with a tradition of wine making that stretches back over a thousand years, Chiara’s winery is equipped with the most advanced control instruments for both the production and the storage of the great Irpinian wines. The quality of the wine produced is in the heart of our company’s philosophy which is in part achieved in our ownership of the vineyards, the careful and passionate attention to which yield the most bountiful grapes and precious wines.
