ABOUT THIS WINE
The Mastroberardino "Stilema" Taurasi 2015 is a 100% Aglianico wine from the Taurasi DOCG appellation in Campania, Italy. This project, led by Piero Mastroberardino, aims to evoke a traditional style of Taurasi reminiscent of his childhood, focusing on earthiness and spice with a transparent expression of the Aglianico grape. Mastroberardino, a historic winery founded in the 18th century, is a key figure in reviving and promoting native Campanian varietals. The grapes for this wine are sourced from select vineyards in Pietradefusi, Montemarano, and Paternopoli, areas known for producing Aglianico of great structure and longevity. The 2015 vintage, while warm, yielded a wine with notable precision and a focus on earthy and spicy characteristics.
