"(100% aglianico; 6.5 g/l total acidity; 3.48 pH; 28.2 g/l dry extract; 12% alcohol): Bright, deep red with only a hint of amber at the rim; this has a very youthful color for its age! Enticing aromas of raspberry, flowers, tar and chocolatey oak. On the palate, blackberry and red cherry flavors are complicated by brown spices, marzipan and faded flowers. This sweet, lush, dense wine displays very good clarity and lift in spite of its ripe, thick texture, coming across as classy, creamy and pliant. Another famous, historic vintage for both Mastroberardino and Taurasi."

Italy grows more indigenous grape varieties than any other country and produces wine in all 20 of its regions. From Piedmont's Nebbiolo to Tuscany's Sangiovese, its finest wines pair structure and bright acidity with a strong sense of place.
