Mastroberardino Aglianico Irpinia ORGANIC

The Mastroberardino family is largely responsible for the revival and elevation of Irpinian winemaking post WWII. The powerful, age-worthy Aglianico grape, native to Campania, has been produced into wine since Ancient Roman times. However, the grape fell into near extinction until the late 1940s. This red greets your nose with aromas of black cherry, wild blackberry, and violets. The palate is soft and elegant with supple tannins from 10 months of aging in oak. Try pairing with hard cheeses, braised lamb, or a nicely grilled rib-eye steak!
