"Stilèma" Taurasi Docg 2016 75 cl Mastroberardino

MASTR TAUSTI16

The balance in the expressive characteristics of the sensory profile was reached after 24 months of aging in wood and 15 months of refining in bottle. Soft ruby red color with luminous transparency. Complex aromas, fruity and floral nuances in perfect balance with spicy shades. A wide bouquet with olfactory notes of cherry, plum, blackberry, caramel, tobacco, vanilla, leather and cloves. On the palate it is fresh, sapid, agile, with a silky tannic texture, well balanced with all the other components. An austere and complex wine, with great drinkability and great aging potential. 

«The Stilèma project testifies the love of Antonio Mastroberardino for his land, its vines and its wines, for their original characters.».

(Piero Mastroberardino)

A project begun at the turn of the millennium, with a series of experimental hypotheses starting from selected clones in pre-phylloxera vineyards and leading to a rediscovery of working protocols, both in the vineyard and in the winery, related to the time in which Irpinia wines affirmed themselves as the pick of the iceberg of a process of renaissance and revitalization of viticulture in our Country.

That program, over the last few years, has placed on a single mind map a series of initiatives aimed at strengthening the link between our vines and wines with their territorial origins. That is what we collect and enclose under the name “Stilèma”. Through this expression we intend to evoke the style of vinification of the native vines of Irpinia (Greco, Fiano and Aglianico) as it took place of the end of the 50s and the beginning of the 70s of the twentieth century for Taurasi, and between the years 70 and 80 for the two whites of Irpinia. It is, then, the style (or the Stilèma) of a family that interprets, over generations, the natural heritage of its territory, which makes it specific, as predestined to play a role in that land.
