Description

Mastroberardino’s Taurasi is the estate’s most historically significant bottling, a reputation that is fully recognized by its status as one of Italy’s landmark wines. The sourcing its Taurasi bottling is exclusively from one vineyard, the 100-acre Mirabella site.

Hand selection of the grapes commences in late October and is generally completed in early November. The maceration period is conducted in stainless steel tanks and transpires over the course of three weeks. Thereafter, the wine is aged for 30 months in a combination of Slavonian oak and French oak barrique and is refined in bottle for an additional 18 months.

While the profile of a given Taurasi necessarily reflects vintage variations, it is typically pronounced on the nose, delivering an aromatic cachet comprising cherry, tar, a floral dimension, and berry fruit. The full-bodied palate is denoted by dark fruit, ash, minerality, and black pepper. Exhibiting both structural savvy and elegance, a Taurasi Riserva generally evolves over the course of several years, with a fully matured bottling revealing pronounced flavors of licorice and tar. It is produced in exceedingly limited quantities.
