Founded in 2005, Donnachiara is a medium sized winery focussed on creating modern expressions of Campania’s typical varieties such as Fiano di Avellino, Greco di Tufo, and Aglianico. The wine that stands out most is the Taurasi.
“Strong, powerful nose brooding with dark fruit. There are notes of blackberry and plum, then prune and balsam; it’s well structured with plenty of tannin and acidity and will continue to age well for another five to seven years. In the mouth there is power and depth, intense forest fruit encased in balanced oak. The finish is long and concentrated with suggestions of coffee, violets and black cherry.”
“An interesting nose and palate. Perhaps not as instantly exotic as other Greco from the area but nevertheless it’s harmonious, balanced and well made. Elegant style with notable pear and peach on the finish.”
