Luigi Tecce Satyricon Irpinia Campi Taurasini Aglianico 2020
As any longtime MCF customer will tell you, I make no bones about calling Luigi Tecce one of, if not the, most important winemakers in Italy right now. His mastery of the Aglianico grape, coming from a totally natural approach, allows the true, raw and beautiful nature of this ancient, noble varietal to truly shine. The Satyricon is the 'approachable' wine in his lineup that, with it's dark, robust, mineral-packed, smoky and feral nature, will out drink many other Taurasi on the market. This 2020 is easily the best rendition of Satyricon to date and, while it drinks beautifully now, you won't be sad to discover it sitting in your cellar 5-10 years from now, either.

The 2020 Satyricon bursts from the glass with a spicy mix of dried roses, black currants, camphor and ground ginger. It’s racy and sleek in style, with gobs of saline mineral tones up front that give way to tart blackberry, all contrasted by a twang of sour citrus. Dark inner florals resonate throughout as the 2020 finishes with a staining of salted licorice and edgy tannins, coming across as youthfully structured and energetic. The Satyricon will be best paired with a meal today, yet will ultimately benefit from two to three years of cellaring. (Eric Guido, Vinous, June 2023)

Great producer! Right after opening it was drinking well. 2 days later, I notice the vinegar notes, but still holds up. Darker plum fruits, with acidity and spice keeping away any heavy sweetness. 14% abv.
