Tasting Notes: Mastroberadino Radici Taurasi Riserva 2017. This is a deep ruby red wine with full, complex and produced only in exceptional vintages, aged 30 months in oak (large casks and barriques) followed by extended bottle maturation. Profound complexity with notes of dried fruit, balsamic, tobacco, and exotic spice.
Aglianico is a dark-skinned, very late-ripening variety producing some of the world’s most age worthy red wines. Though it can be found scattered across most mountainous regions of Italy’s south, its best expressions usually come from areas with volcanic soils such as Taurasi, Taburno and Vulture. Its unique naturally high acidity and minerality ensure graceful balance and freshness that set the wines apart from other full-bodied and complex red wines.
Mastroberardino is one of the leading wineries and wine families in all of Italy, in terms of production, market impact, and innovation. The family’s storied history dates back to the early 18th century. As one of Italy’s top winemaking estates, it holds a proud place in Italy’s viticultural history as a guardian and protector of indigenous grapes of Southern Italy’s Campania region. The family has not just worked to maintain them, but has successfully turned would-be extinct grapes into world class varieties. Antonio’s son Piero is now the 10th generation Mastroberardino to lead the company, overseeing not just the business operations, but also a multitude of research projects, including classification, planting, and viticultural zoning across the entire region. In 1996 the winery’s work was further recognized when the Italian government selected Mastroberardino to manage the preservation of Pompeii’s ancient viticultural techniques at the Villa dei Misteri archaeological site. Here the winery carefully planted vines inside the Pompeii ruins following the plans and methods used by the Ancient Romans prior to the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 B.C. Proceeds
