"Molettieriâs 2007 Taurasi Vigna 5 Querce is a big, big wine. Mocha, espresso, game, tar, licorice and dark raspberries meld together in an unusually ripe, flashy Taurasi. The 2007 boasts tons of richness and sheer power, but it needs at least another year to settle down . . . . Salvatore Molettieri and his son, Giovanni, make bold wines that capture the richness and power of Aglianico. The estate is located in Montemarano, long regarded as one of the most prestigious zones for Aglianico."

Italy grows more indigenous grape varieties than any other country and produces wine in all 20 of its regions. From Piedmont's Nebbiolo to Tuscany's Sangiovese, its finest wines pair structure and bright acidity with a strong sense of place.
