WINES OF SOUTHERN ITALY
“Redimore” Irpinia Aglianico DOC
This wine is named after an ancient mulberry tree located in the the family estate of Mirabella Eclanum
Radici Resort in the heart of the production of Taurasi DOCG. Made from 100% Aglianico grapes
havested in October. The grapes are aged in French oak barriques for 12 months.
“Radici” Taurasi DOCG
Radici Taurasi is Mastroberardino’s flagship wine. Although first released in 1928, the wine became
known as, Radici, which translates as ‘roots’ in 1986. This classic red is the result of painstaking research
into exposure, chemical and physical characteristics of this region’s unique volcanic terroir and
topography. Made from 100% Aglianico, and sourced from the Mirabella Eclano vineyard where vine age
averages 30 years, Radici Taurasi is one of the most superb expressions of this ancient terroir.
“Radici” Taurasi Riserva DOCG
First produced in 1986, the Radici Taurasi Riserva is the result of painstaking research into the chemical
and physical characteristics of the Montemarano vineyard. The idea was to fully understand the
environment in which the roots (or “radici” in Italian) grow. This sets the benchmark for Aglianico in
southern Italy. Made from 100% Aglianico grapes and is aged in oak for 30 months, with an additional
aging of 48 months in the bottle to give it a refined and elegant taste.
“Melizie” Irpinia Fiano Passito DOC
Most grapes intended for winemaking are harvested between August and September. The grapes
destined to become Melizie are allowed to dry on the vine until the middle of December. By so doing,
the honeyed, floral flavors of the Fiano grape become more fully developed and concentrated. This
dessert wine is truly a special expression of the land.
