taurasi “radici”

The Taurasi “Radici” is the estate’s flagship bottling of the estate, from the region that they’re most synonymous with & the grape they are most famous for, Aglianico. The Radici bottling is a blend for Aglianico from two different sub-regions of Taurasi; Montemarano & Mirabella Eclano. Radici translates as “roots” & their Radici bottlings are meant to showcase not only the roots of the Mastroberardino estate but the roots of wine in the Campanian region.
