Mastroberardino 2023 Irpinia Aglianico

About This Wine

Crafted by the historic Mastroberardino family—guardians of Campania’s native viticulture since the 18th century—this expression showcases Aglianico at its most expressive and approachable. Sourced from high-altitude vineyards in the heart of Irpinia, the cool mountain nights preserve natural freshness and vibrant fruit profile while softening Aglianico's notoriously firm structure.

Tasting Notes

Supple and inviting on the palate with a core of bright red fruit and berry jam. Velvety, fine-grained tannins offer structure without astringency, balanced by lively acidity. The finish is smooth, elegant, and persistent with touches of crushed herbs and warm spice.
