Mastroberardino Irpinia Aglianico 2022

$52.00

Mastroberardino — ten generations farming the same land — stands as Campania’s most acclaimed wine grower and one of Italy’s foremost wineries. Their Aglianico, from the volcanic soils of Irpinia, captures a grape revered since Roman times. Here, at higher altitude where hot days yield to cool nights and ripening runs late, the variety develops exceptional depth and complexity. In the glass it unfurls black cherry and dark berry fruit, violet perfume and an undercurrent of spice. Ten months in large oak casks lends structure and subtle oak presence, preserving the wine’s vibrant fruit and mineral drive while adding poised tannins and length. A compelling expression of place, history and tradition.
