Mastroberardino 2001 Radici Aglianico (Taurasi)
- Editors' Choice
- Online Exclusive
- $41
This is among Campania’s best reds. The aromatic intensity and persistency is stratospheric and the wine doles out generous notes of red cherry, charred volcanic tones and licorice. It’s also a wine that evolves, limitlessly, in the glass, gaining intensity and purity the longer you wait. The tannins are solid and chewy and the duration of the length is excellent.

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.

Mastroberardino 2003 Radici Aglianico (Taurasi)

Despite its age, you still get intact nuances of fruit and berry preserves. This hearty Taurasi does not seem to have suffered too much from the hot vintage and offers thick dense black fruit and firm tannins. Radici is a flagship wine for southern Italy.

Mastroberardino 2007 Radici Fiano (Fiano di Avellino)
- $30
This supple and smooth Fiano delivers notes of pear, Golden Delicious apple and yellow melon. The wine is layered and complex thanks to the mineral nuances that accompany it to the end. It is also chewy, naturally robust and promises an excellent match to lobster, crab or baked clams.
