Mastroberardino, Radici Taurasi, 2019
One of Italy's most powerful and age-worthy red wines from Campania's Aglianico heartland. Mastroberardino's flagship Radici translates as 'roots'—and for good reason. First produced in 1928, renamed Radici in 1986, this wine defines Taurasi DOCG's depth and complexity. The 2019 vintage, aged 24 months in French oak and Slavonian casks, then 24 months in bottle, presents a silken yet concentrated expression: aromas of cloves, incense, chocolate, and dark cherry fill the glass; the palate bathes in tart acidity and crunchy fruit intensity. This is a benchmark southern Italian red with 50 years of potential aging. Decant one hour before serving. Cellar this wine or drink it now with substantial food.
