Taurasi Riserva DOCG 'Radici' Mastroberardino 2016

The Radici Taurasi Riserva DOCG is a wine that comes from the Mastroberardino cellar in Atripalda. The combination of history and modernity are the main characteristics of the company, one of the most prestigious in the Irpino area. The grapes come from the Aglianico vineyards, cultivated on soils rich in clay and limestone, exposed to the South/East at about 550 meters above sea level. The training system adopted is espalier, while pruning is spurred cordon. After the manual harvest and the selection of the best grapes, the red vinification and maceration on the skins is carried out for about 25 days. Subsequently, it is aged in French oak barriques and Slavonian oak barrels for a period of 30 days. Before being put on the market, the wine needs a further rest in glass for 40 months. Radici Taurasi Riserva DOCG is an elegant and enveloping wine, ideal for immediate drinking, but it can also rest in the cellar for over 10 years before tasting.
