Raudonasis
Hand harvested in October, grapes are fermented in stainless steel and undergo a long maceration at a controlled temperature. The wine is aged for 12 months in barriques and five years in bottle. Ruby red. Aromas of cherries, plums, raspberries, and black pepper. Refined, light tannins and bright acidity make this a lifting, balanced wine.
Serve at 16-18 °C with mature cheeses, steak and game dishes, mushrooms and truffles.
The Mastroberardino family, leaders in Italian viticulture, are largely responsible for the revival and elevation of Irpinian and Campanian winemaking post WWII. Their efforts ignited a resurgence in quality red and white wine production in all of Southern Italy. Working primarily with Campania's ancient, native varietals, Fiano, Greco, and Aglianico, Mastroberardino has resuscitated would-be extinct grapes into world class varieties.
