Description
The Antonio Caggiano Taurasi Macchia dei Goti is the undisputed most beautiful Aglianico wine in Italy. The Macchia dei Goti from Campania is a cult wine. Not only we think this, but in fact you see that all wine experts have the same opinion. Whether it is the Gamberro Rosso, Robert Parker or Decanter. In the New York Times, the Macchia dei Goti was voted the very best red Aglianico wine. This Aglianico wine from Caggiano is also called the Barolo of the South . The Macchia de Goti is a sturdy fruity wine with a hint of herbs, roasted nuts and a small hint of licorice and tar. Beautifully balanced and soft and delicate on the palate with a high concentration of beautiful ripe tannins. Elegance at its finest and, like a Barolo, it is a wine that only becomes more beautiful with age.
The winery is located in Taurasi, Italy, which is in the Campania wine region. Taurasi is known for its atmosphere of folklore, age-old traditions, historic architecture and religion. The city of Taurasi has a historic city center with amazing architectural feats and ancient works of art. Ancient churches and chapels embellish the area with its many folkloric festivals and traditions. Taurasi is an important wine center for the region. Antonio Caggiano Winery is one of the wineries we would like to associate our name with! That is why this beautiful winery is included in our exclusive Grandcru wine range.

2021 - 2032
A release of about 16,000 bottles, the Cantine Antonio Caggiano 2015 Taurasi Vigna Macchia dei Goti is a full-bodied red wine with dark concentration and rich fruit flavors that are lasting and quite savory. At the wine's core, there is ripe, even sweet cherry fruit, but all this is framed by darker spice, leather, tar and spent ember. This expression is bold and determined, both in terms of the power of the warm vintage fruit and the amplifying effect of the oak aging. I'd reserve it for a juicy and grilled T-bone steak.

Plenty of sweet, oak-tinged black fruit on the nose and palate of this full-bodied red, with sturdy but well-integrated tannins and lots of enduring flavor. Super-clean and nicely structured. This is a big wine and, though enjoyable even now, will improve in the bottle. Excellent aging potential. Try from 2025.

From: Campania: Change Is Imminent…Or Is It? (Jun 2023)
The 2018 Taurasi Vigna Macchia de’ Goti entices with a unique yet truly appealing bouquet that mixes savory brown sauce with crushed cherries and dusty sage. It washes gracefully across the palate, impactful yet finessed, with pretty red and black fruits accelerated by brisk acidity. A core of saline minerals comes forward through the close, along with youthfully grippy tannins, as the 2018 tapers off with decent length and on a plum note.

Antonio Caggiano - the 'Barolo of the South'
The Italian winery Antonio Caggiano is located in the wine region of Campania in the municipality (and also DOCG) of Taurasi. Taurasi is an important wine center for the region and you will also find yourself in an atmosphere of folklore, ancient traditions, historical architecture and religion. The city of Taurasi has a historic city center with amazing architectural masterpieces and ancient art pieces. Old churches and chapels beautify the area with its many folkloric festivals and traditions.
The wines from the spectacular winery Antonio Caggiano are all very special. The top wine is the Taurasi Vina Macchia dei Goti, also known as the 'Barolo of the South'. Furthermore, the winery makes the beautiful Fiano di Avelino and Greco di Tufo, from the 2 most typical white grapes from the Campania. Both wines are named after distant places that Caggiono visited as a photographer. The winery makes 3 different DOCGs and only a few copy them. The Macchia was voted best red Aglianico wine in the New York Times and we totally agree.
History
The winery founder, Antonio Caggiano, is quirky and outgoing. In addition to being a winemaker, he has been a passionate and enthusiastic photographer who has traveled all over the world for years. From the cold of the Artic countries to the African desert, from the United States to South America and finally to the old family vineyard (Salae Domini) to work on the realization of his winery founded in 1990. Driven by an irresistible desire to give a voice to the history & traditions of his beloved Taurasi, Antonio decided to start his own winery.
The winery has beautiful cellars with numerous fascinating small tunnels, built and designed by Antonio, who is also an architect. These cellars are not only the place where barriques, bottles and barrels are kept, but they also represent a real museum of wine growing. In every corner, on every wall and in the multiple recesses in the stone walls, the typical tools and objects used by winemakers can be admired. In addition to the tools and vessels, there is a variety of wood, glass and stone artwork, some of which were created by Antonio himself and others received as gifts from artist friends.
Antonio started this winery partly for his own pleasure, and partly for the challenge. Not only to rediscover the aromas and flavors previously lost in Taurasi wine, but also to create a small museum of farming tools used in the past. The winery has a modern technical structure with an authentic style. Visitors are welcome to wander through the cellars, giving the impression of a mysterious underground land made between walls of large stones, arches and vaults. These great cellars are therefore one of the distinguishing features of this winery.
The company is currently run by Antonio's son Giuseppe. Giuseppe, helped by his father and thanks to meticulous and passionate hard work in the vineyard and winery, has contributed to achieving a quality, distinctive style that has marked winery Antonio Caggiano as one of the best representatives of Irpinia wines.
