taurasi riserva “radici”

The “Radici” Riserva bottling was first produced with 1986 vintage after years of researching to find the best expression for this unique bottling. Although Riserva is a very common designation for bottlings all across Italy, Mastroberardino’s bottling is more focused on the specific site rather than the extended aging process. Here the fruit comes exclusively from the upper portion of their Montemarano vineyard.
