Description
Still red wine from Taurasi DOCG, 13.5% ABV, produced by Mastroberardino. 100% Aglianico. 0.75 L bottle, 2017 vintage. A wine that embodies the history and tradition of a family that has been producing wines in Irpinia for over two centuries. Aged in French oak barriques and Slavonian oak barrels for approximately 30 months and at least 36 months in bottle. It offers a broad, complex, intense, and particularly refined bouquet with aromas reminiscent of tobacco, spices, cherry, berries, plum, and balsamic notes. On the palate, it is enveloping and elegant, with aromas of plum, bitter cherry, strawberry jam, black pepper, and licorice.
