Mastroberardino 2001 Radici (Taurasi)

Country: Italy / Radici
Variety: Aglianico Southern Italy
Winery: Mastroberardino / Taurasi

This is among Campania’s best reds. The aromatic intensity and persistency is stratospheric and the wine doles out generous notes of red cherry, charred volcanic tones and licorice. It’s also a wine that evolves, limitlessly, in the glass, gaining intensity and purity the longer you wait. The tannins are solid and chewy and the duration of the length is excellent.
