The Aglianico di Taurasi grape variety represents the history and culture of Irish viticulture like no other. Mastroberardino's Taurasi never disappoints expectations and maintains its energetic personality and full-bodied structure that have made it and the Aglianico grape - also called Barolo of the South - famous throughout the world.

Only after a few years of well-deserved bottle ageing does the true potential of the Radici Taurasi become apparent. Opulent, warm bouquet of cherries and black berries, plus spicy and wild herbal notes. On the palate, it is finely meshed, elegant and envelopingly silky, the fullness and complexity of this Aglianico thrills with every sip. Even if it can still mature for many years, it is already an unforgettable pleasure. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2012 Taurasi Radici is still in the process of integrating. Under that sweet spice and toast, you definitely get a clear glimpse of the pretty fruit below. Morello cherry and dried blackberry give substance and fiber to the core of this robust red wine." Robert Parker

"Black-walnut, blackberry and black-olive aromas follow through to a full body, round and chewy tannins and a flavorful finish. Very rich and intense." James Suckling

"Underbrush, red fruit, dark spice and a whiff of menthol are some of the aromas that come together on this. The firmly structured elegant palate offers ripe plum, red cherry, licorice and tobacco framed in youthfully austere fine-grained tannins that need time to unwind." Wine Enthusiast

"Lovely hints of spice box, graphite and violet accent the pure black currant and black cherry fruit in this harmonious, full-bodied red. There's good density to this focused version, with savory wild herb and tarry mineral details showing on the creamy, lingering finish." Wine Spectator
