Mastroberardino

A wine with a prestigious name and a pretty legend: God cried when he found a corner of heaven stolen by Lucifer and there, where his tears fell, the Lacryma Christian vine grew. The extraordinary power of the area around Vesuvius where the lava fights in the volcanic rock gives this splendid wine. SUPERIORE.DE

Delicate rosé, aromatic vinous scent with notes of roses, violets and undergrowth. Fresh on the palate with fine acidity, soft and a slightly salty note. A wine which does not hide its volcanic origin and which is enjoyed with pleasure. SUPERIORE.DE

"Very pale onion peel pink. Floral redcurrant and delicate herb aromas and flavors. Very juicy and saline with a high acid quality that extends the herbal and floral flavors on the long zingy back end. A lovely juicy Rosato that boasts great freshness and precision." Ian d'Agata

"This is a subtle and enticing rosé that shows light rose petals, fresh herbs, white pepper and nutmeg. Refined and tangy on the medium- to light-bodied palate, the bright acidity accentuating the carefully wrought stone fruit." James Suckling

A wine with a prestigious name and a pretty legend: God cried when he found a corner of heaven stolen by Lucifer and there, where his tears fell, the Lacryma Christian vine grew. Independent, characterful, immensely palatable wine from the foot of Vesuvius. SUPERIORE.DE

Beautiful floweriness and a scent of pineapple and peach, sage and thyme. The slightly mineral taste is just as dynamic. Also with the Morabianca the big class of the producer is to be recognized! SUPERIORE.DE

"Aromas of sliced pears and candied lemons. Some slate. Medium to full body. Fruity finish." James Suckling

Impressive the aromatic Fiano with the smell of white peaches, the tight, slightly mineral taste and the characterful aftertaste. SUPERIORE.DE

The Aglianico Irpinia impresses with an immense fragrance of intense aromas of red fruits, herbs and delicate balsamic notes. The taste is warm and full, with rich fruit tones spiced with a hint of liquorice. An Aglianico that is already very accessible in young years. SUPERIORE.DE

"Beautiful and complex southern Italian red with plums and earth and hints of cedar on the nose and palate. Medium body. Soft tannins." James Suckling

What could be more beautiful for the italophile white wine lover than a Greco di Tufo and even more from the hands of the esteemed Piero Mastroberardino. Inviting the scent of white peaches, melon and citrus fruits. Generous and typical taste, soft and mineral, but not heavy - carried by a controlled lively acidity. SUPERIORE.DE

Generous bouquet of yellow peaches and aniseed. Mature, yet incredibly fresh fruit on the palate, very harmonious and varied. In the long final we discover, besides a mineral note, also a delicate touch of caramel, very nice interpretation of a Greco di Tufo. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2018 Greco di Tufo NovaSerra is a smooth and steady expression that delivers stone fruit, Amalfi lemon, pear and sweet almond blossom. There is a pretty mineral note on the close that recalls volcanic ash or flint. The wine's fiber is naturally lean; however, you get nice persistency and tonic freshness nonetheless." Robert Parker

"A varietal and delicious greco that shows fresh thyme, sage and citrus character, along with grass and chamomile. Taut and precise in its delivery of crunchy acidity and vibrant fruit on the palate." James Suckling

Mastroberardino is particularly interested in the old grape variety Fiano. It was already cultivated by the Romans, who called it Vitis apiana because of its special attraction to bees (apis). The result is a wine - straw-yellow and wonderfully aromatic with a spicy honey and nut bouquet. The characteristic taste is very harmonious. SUPERIORE.DE

"Creamy and dense fiano with stone, pumice and lemon-peel aromas and flavors. Nice, soft texture, yet fresh and fruity." James Suckling

Re di More is an intense Aglianico that combines richness and harmony in the most beautiful way. Aromas of dried fruits, leather, tobacco and spices are perfectly interwoven with fruit, acidity and tannin. SUPERIORE.DE

"Aglianico class sings out. Massive grip of tannins without that much concentration or obvious oak influence. Correct and a good introduction to the variety." Jancis Robinson

A heartily spicy Fiano di Avellino, which impresses with its fruity fullness and aromas of sausage, bacon and smoke. Complex on the palate after tropical fruits, candy and minerals, full-bodied long. SUPERIORE.DE

A very special wine made from overripe and strictly selected Aglianico grapes, which thrive on Mastroberardino's south facing vineyards. The Taurasi is stored in oak barrels for two years and rests in the bottle for one year. A wine with a fascinating personality, strength and an extremely high ageing potential. SUPERIORE.DE

"Mid ruby. Grilled meat, nutty spice and smoke, with overripe red-cherry fruit beneath. Focused, ripe red-cherry fruit on the palate, with precision of fine-grained, fairly firm tannins. Precise, direct and linear, but by no means simple, carrying smoky, saline, rocky mineral savoury layers. Long. Classy." Jancis Robinson

"The Mastroberardino 2015 Taurasi Radici is a dark and savory wine with thickly stacked aromas of black fruit, tar, licorice and campfire ash. This is a baritone Taurasi from a warm and sunny vintage that boasts concentrated and rich flavors as a result. Despite the evident power you get here, Taurasi has a beautiful manner of staying focused and sharp nonetheless. This wine demonstrates that quality very nicely." Robert Parker

"I love the spicy and lifted notes here of caramelized orange peel, dried meat, blackcurrants, pomegranate, sea urchin and bark. A seamless and wonderfully elegant, medium-bodied palate follows with finely grained tannins and loads of floral undertones. This wine is all about transparency and subtlety. Best Radici in years."
