I got a preview taste of the 2021 Irpinia Grande Cuvée Luigi Moio and will give this wine an official review next year. However, let me just say that we are in for something special indeed. A partially oak-fermented blend of Fiano, Greco and Falanghina—the "three graces" of the Quintodecimo portfolio—the wine is rich, silky and extremely fine in texture. There are aromas of peach cobbler, pastry cream, saffron, honey and a lifted tone of white flower or jasmine (that we also saw in the inaugural 2020 vintage). Dusty mineral tones settle at the back. The wine is delicious at this young stage and will surely only get better.

Complex aromas of rock melon and peach together with floral and lightly honeyed notes, following through to a medium-bodied palate with very good concentration and focus. There’s a lightly phenolic element adding structure and creating a long finish that progresses from fruit, through tangy honey to saline minerals. Lots going on here. Blend of falanghina, greco and fiano. Drink now.
