Radici Taurasi DOCG Riserva 2017 Cantine Mastroberardino

Exploring the Unique Profile of Taurasi Riserva “Radici”

The Taurasi Riserva “Radici”, coming from the historic Mastroberardino winery, is an oenological jewel of Irpinia, a region known for its quality wine tradition. The choice to mature it for around 30 months in barrels of different sizes is not accidental: this process gives the wine a complexity of aromas and a balanced tannic structure, making it an illustrious example of Aglianico's ability to transform and evolve over time. The ruby ​​red color with garnet shades captures the eye, a prelude to an intense and memorable sensory experience.

A Journey through Aromas and Flavours

This Taurasi Riserva opens with an olfactory picture that is a real kaleidoscope of sensations: very ripe fruit, sweet spices, musk and dried flowers combine to create a broad and complex olfactory bouquet. On the palate, the wine reveals itself with an austere and powerful personality, offering an aromatic richness that persists for a long time. Notes of berries, cherry, oriental spices and noble woods blend in a deep and enveloping sip, characterized by lively tannins and a good complexity in the center of the mouth. The finish is fresh and tasty, enriched by a return of spicy sensations that invite another sip.

History and tradition of the Mastroberardino winery

The Mastroberardino family, active in viticulture for over a century, has always shown an unconditional dedication to quality and tradition. With wise management of over 250 hectares of vineyards in the Avellino area, the winery has played a crucial role in the wine renaissance of Southern Italy. Their philosophy is based on respect for native vines, such as Aglianico, Fiano, Falanghina and Greco, and on a constant commitment to innovation, without ever losing sight of the cultural heritage of the territory. Mastroberardino wines are, therefore, not only expressions of high quality, but also witnesses of the history and culture of Irpinia.

Tips for tasting and pairing

To fully enjoy the qualities of Taurasi Riserva “Radici”, we recommend serving it at a temperature of 18°-20°C. Using a decanter for 1-2 hours before serving allows the wine to oxygenate adequately, thus revealing all its complex aromas. This wine pairs beautifully with intense and structured dishes: pasta with meat sauces, roasts, grills, game and mature cheeses are ideal choices. Furthermore, thanks to its extraordinary longevity, it can be stored in the cellar for over 12 years, improving with time.
