What are the trends in the Parts One and Two? There are 27 wineries included in eight lists; five wineries are mentioned five times: Perillo, Antonio Caggiano, Salvatore Molittieri, Quintodecimo and Feudi di San Gregorio. Mastroberardino was mentioned four times. No other winery are mentioned more than twice. This separation suggests that established wineries and/or established wine makers stand out with the rating guides. I encourage you to search for wines from each of the 27 wineries and other wineries that produce Taurasi so you can make your own determinations as to which Taurasi wine you prefer.
