Vertical Success: Claudio Quarta's Moros enchants at Vinitaly

    The first historical Vertical tasting of Moros Salice Salentino DOP

In the heart of the Puglia pavilion at Vinitaly, an event took place that left an indelible mark on our experience: the first vertical tasting of Moros, one of the most precious treasures of Claudio Quarta Vignaiolo. Seven extraordinary vintages were presented in a breathtaking hour of tasting, from 2012 to 2019, excluding only the 2014 vintage due to its perceived lower quality, hence never released on the market. 

Moros reaffirmed its role as a protagonist of the denomination, acclaimed by international competitions and finally tasted with a Vertical perspective. The tasting was masterfully conducted by the renowned journalist Mauro Giacomo Bertolli, accompanied by the first sommelier of Puglia, Carmine Galasso, and the producers Alessandra and Claudio Quarta.

The tasting even exceeded the highest expectations, offering an extraordinary sensory journey. The typical varietal aromas were expressed with power and complexity, while the structure, elegance, and persistence revealed the distinctive character of Moros.

But what truly took our breath away was the longevity of this wine. Besides being a pleasure for the palate today, Moros promises to age gracefully, offering ever new emotions over the years. Even the historic first vintage of 2012 has endured for 12 years and will still manage to amaze us in the future.

A historic Vertical that represented a triumph for Claudio Quarta Vignaiolo and a tribute to the quality that Puglia has to offer in the wine panorama. "I am extremely satisfied with this event, which today constitutes an important awareness to continue on our path of quality aimed at bringing value to an exceptional denomination," concluded Alessandra Quarta. 

An unforgettable event for all those who had the privilege of savoring the magic enclosed in every drop of this extraordinary wine. Ad maiora.
