The region's flagship varietal, it not only makes terrific wines for every day but also brings forth transcendent collectible wines. The very best expression of Aglianico is widely considered to be Taurasi. Taurasi wines have the structure, depth, terroir-driven complexity, and lush fruit characters that make wine lovers swoon!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEstablished in the late 19th century, the Mastroberardino family is largely responsible for putting Taurasi on the world wine map as well as preserving the region's culture by identifying and preserving its oldest grape varietals. It is no wonder that this dedicated and passionate family crafts wines that are benchmarks for the region's other wine producers. Mastroberardino's cuvées have garnered numerous top ratings from the wine press as well as a small but very fervent legion of fans from around the world.  A bottle of Taurasi crafted by the Mastroberardinos is a little piece of southern Italian history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAged for 24 months in a combination of French and Slavonian oak barrels, the 2020 Mastroberardino \"Radici\" Taurasi has aromas of cherries and raspberries entwined with accents of freshly ground black pepper, woodsmoke, forest floor, earthy minerality, violets, and bay leaves. The palate is full-bodied and velvety smooth yet well-structured, with flavors of ripe black cherries, plums, strawberries, and subtle herbal undertones. A streak of bright acidity gives the wine lift and balance; the finish is long and dry, with hints of dark chocolate and orange peel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCheck out the press!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e97 points, James Suckling\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e#25 in Top 100 Wines of Italy, 2025:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"A super-intense and perfumed wine with aromas of freshly ground black pepper, smoke, forest floor ,and earthy minerality.
