Mastroberardino 1999 Riserva Cento Trenta Aglianico (Taurasi)
- Cellar Selection
This is a beautifully aged Collector’s Edition of Taurasi made to celebrate Mastroberardino’s 130th anniversary as an exporter of wine to Europe and America.

Mastroberardino 2003 Radici Riserva Aglianico (Taurasi)

Mastroberardino 2001 Naturalis Historia Aglianico (Irpinia)
- Cellar Selection
- Online Exclusive
- $65
Here’s a southern Italian red with Barolo-like austerity: elegant notes of small berry fruit are seamlessly folded within layers of slate roof, ash, graphite, licorice and fine expressions rendered by volcanic soils and 18 months of oak aging.

Mastroberardino 2004 Naturalis Historia Aglianico (Taurasi)
- Cellar Selection
- $90
Naturalis Historia is a benchmark wine for Campania—and all of southern Italy—with spectacularly clean mineral tones on the heels of berry fruit, plums, leather and spice. The wine’s approach is vertical and immediate but it also evolves slowly in the glass thanks to an ever-changing bouquet.

Mastroberardino 2005 Radici Aglianico (Taurasi)
- Online Exclusive
- $60
This is one of our favorite red wines from Southern Italy. The reason is personality: you just don’t find this intensity and these lead pencil mineral notes and crushed black pepper anywhere else. The wine is elegant and focused with young tannins that promise a long aging future ahead.
