Taurasi ‘Radici’ DOCG. Mastroberardino. 2005

Taurasi is the wine that finally dispelled the old myth that no Italian red wine of any note is produced south of Tuscany.

Aglianico del Vulture from Basilicata is good; Taurasi, from neighboring Campania and also made from the aglianico grape, is better. Much better.

(A decent Italian red from the sun-baked south ? Absolutely. Click on the main headline title to find out more)
