“Radici” Taurasi DOCG Radici Taurasi is Mastroberardino’s flagship wine. Although first released in 1928, the wine became known as, Radici, which translates as ‘roots’ in 1986. This classic red is the result of painstaking research into exposure, chemical and physical characteristics of this region’s unique volcanic terroir and topography. Made from 100% Aglianico, and sourced from the Mirabella Eclano vineyard where vine age averages 30 years, Radici Taurasi is one of the most superb expressions of this ancient terroir.

“Radici” Taurasi Riserva DOCG First produced in 1986, the Radici Taurasi Riserva is the result of painstaking research into the chemical and physical characteristics of the Montemarano vineyard. The idea was to fully understand the environment in which the roots (or “radici” in Italian) grow. This sets the benchmark for Aglianico in southern Italy. Made from 100% Aglianico grapes and is aged in oak for 30 months, with an additional aging of 48 months in the bottle to give it a refined and elegant taste.

“Melizie” Irpinia Fiano Passito DOC Most grapes intended for winemaking are harvested between August and September. The grapes destined to become Melizie are allowed to dry on the vine until the middle of December. By so doing, the honeyed, floral flavors of the Fiano grape become more fully developed and concentrated. This dessert wine is truly a special expression of the land.
