Mastroberardino Redimore Aglianico 2017

THIS HISTORICAL PRODUCER IS A LONG TIME PIONEER OF MODERN AGLICANICO AND ITS REPUTATION AS THE GREAT WINE OF THE SOUTH IN ITALY
 

"Aglianico is the primary grape variety grown in Mirabella, the main estate owned by the Mastroberardino family in the heart of the Taurasi DOCG area.  Some of these vineyards are dedicated to the production of Redimore Irpinia DOC, the wine made from two clones of Aglianico selected and propagated by Mastroberardino in a centennial ungrafted vineyard."Sante

"Twenty years ago, Mastroberardino started propagating cuttings from their oldest, pre-phylloxera aglianico vines (“My father was looking for small bunches with the aromatic flavour he remembered from his childhood,” says Piero), and planted them in a new vineyard.  This wine is the result: beautifully vibrant young red with plenty of dark spice perfume – cassia, bay, star anise – bold purple fruit and sinewy but supple tannins.”Max Allen 

"Made with fruit from a single vineyard of Antonio Mastroberardino’s pre-phylloxera clone vines on the Mirabella estate, Piero Mastroberardino calls this wine a ‘baby’ Radici.  Matured in small oak barrels, deep and brooding in colour, with a lifted floral perfume and hints of spice on the nose.  Retains the classic Aglianico lightness on the finish."
