Aglianico Mastroberardino 2019

The Aglianico Mastroberardino is a medium-intensity red, linear and without any flaws, perfect for starting to approach this great grape variety from southern Italy. Mastroberardino, a reference point not only for Campanian viticulture, presents it in a typically Mediterranean varietal key, which highlights a beautiful minerality even on the palate, a quality that derives directly from the volcanic component of the soil. A bottle that is a pleasure to find on the table even daily, always reserving a pleasant and satisfying sip.

Mastroberardino produces this Aglianico from vineyards scattered within the IGT Campania, characterized by a southeast exposure and a mainly clayey soil matrix. The training system used to grow the vines is that of the trellis with Guyot or spurred cordon pruning. Between the end of October and the beginning of November, manual harvesting takes place, and the must obtained from pressing the grapes ferments in stainless steel containers, maintaining a controlled temperature. The final aging takes place first for 10 months in wood, and then, once the bottling operations are completed, for another six months directly in glass.

The Aglianico by Mastroberardino presents itself to the eye with a ruby red color endowed with a particular brightness. The Mediterranean profile of this product is evident on the nose, where mineral sensations blend with fruity touches and hints of wild spices. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, linear, with a well-structured sip, from which emerges a savory taste that coherently recalls the profile partially traced on the nose. A bottle with a classic profile and an interesting price; at the table, pair it with red meat dishes or yellow risottos with sausage.
