Vivid dark ruby color, with aromas of blueberry jelly, earth, black truffles, toasted pepper and chocolate. Velvety on the palate, with juicy acidity, a full body and very good fruit concentration. Great complexity and polish in the finish. Drink or hold.

The 2019 Taurasi Radici is impossible to ignore, mixing cloves with incense, crushed stones and dried black cherries. This is saturating and intense, with a silken textural wave that ushers in masses of tart wild berry fruits and spices, all carried by a stream of vibrant acidity. It finishes long and youthfully tense, with a mineral tinge that lingers along with notes of black licorice and a sour cranberry crunch. In 2019, the Taurasi Radici is back to form. (EG)

A more austere and traditionalist expression of Taurasi, this wine has a formidable tannic backbone and a focus on earthy, mineral tones, promising decades of evolution.

Notes

Mastroberardino’s 2019 “Radici” Taurasi is a benchmark expression of Aglianico, capturing the power and elegance of Irpinia’s volcanic terroir from an outstanding vintage. The nose is deep and complex, with aromas of black cherry, wild plum, and dried rose, layered with classic notes of licorice, tobacco, and iron-rich earth. On the palate, it’s full-bodied and intensely structured, with firm, polished tannins and vibrant acidity framing a core of dense dark fruit, savory spice, and balsamic undertones. The finish is long, powerful, and resonant, with lingering hints of smoke and crushed stone. A quintessential Taurasi with decades of aging potential.
