The Mastroberardino Radici Taurasi is a sophisticated red wine from the renowned Taurasi region in Italy's Campania. Known for its deep ruby color, this Aglianico varietal showcases a robust flavor profile with notes of dark fruit, spice, and earthy undertones, characteristic of its volcanic terroir.
This wine pairs excellently with hearty dishes such as grilled meats, rich stews, and aged cheeses. Ideal accompaniments include Osso Buco, lamb shanks, and mushroom risotto, making it a versatile choice for a variety of culinary experiences.
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.
In the bottle with the black label, the Mastroberardino 2019 Taurasi Radici is a brambly and intense wine with dark fruit, resin and petroleum jelly. Those tertiary tones have taken hold for sure, but the mouthfeel is graciously not too heavy or thick. Texturally, it remains light on its feet, with hints of cumin, spice and dried berry fruit. This is an ample release of 75,000 bottles that to me has more depth and verticality compared to the two Naturalis Historia wines from 2018.
