EXAMPLES OF CAMPANIA'S SIGNATURE RED WINE FROM THE TAURASI APPELLATION The selection of vintages we tasted showed a compelling, recognizable signature. “There’s a line, a thread, despite the changes in winemaking. When we talk about the consistency among the wines, we are very lucky for our environment, for our territory, for our grape,” says Piero Mastroberardino, referring to the estate’s location in Taurasi and its reliance on the late-ripening variety Aglianico. The elevation of Taurasi hillside vineyards (starting at about 1,300 feet) and the protective influence of surrounding mountains provide a long growing season for Aglianico.
