The 2019 Taurasi Radici is a single vineyard powerhouse that intensely bathes the palate with silken waves of tart acidity and a crunchy fruit-concentrated body. With aromas of cloves, incense, chocolate, and dark cherries, it offers a rich and concentrated palate of wild berry fruits, spices, and a dazzling acidity. The finish is long and tense, with mineral notes, black licorice, and cranberry. This wine demonstrates the estate's ability to adapt to modern vintages, producing energetic and fruit-driven wines with refined tannins. While the long-term impact of climate change remains uncertain, the 2019 Taurasi Radici is a stunning example of the region's potential, promising to age gracefully for decades to come as the “Barolo of the South.” Elevate your slow-roasted prime rib dinner or a well-marbled steak. Vegetarian? Mushrooms shine alongside the Taurasi Radici.

Critic Reviews

Vinous Media
95 Points
95 Points, Eric Guido, Vinous: "The 2019 Taurasi Radici is impossible to ignore, mixing cloves with incense, crushed stones and dried black cherries. This is saturating and intense, with a silken textural wave that ushers in masses of tart wild berry fruits and spices, all carried by a stream of vibrant acidity. It finishes long and youthfully tense, with a mineral tinge that lingers along with notes of black licorice and a sour cranberry crunch. In 2019, the Taurasi Radici is back to form. The new releases from Mastroberardino demonstrate this storied estate's ability to adapt to modern-day vintages...In fact, instead of coming across as sun-kissed or in any way dried out, they are notably energetic, with a beautiful purity of fruit and tannins that promise further development. When asked about global warming, Piero Mastroberardino explains, “We can now achieve soft tannins in a big Taurasi; the world has changed." Whether or not this is a good thing for the long term remains to be seen. As for the 2019 Taurasi Radici, it’s a drop-dead classic, and I am very excited to see how the Riservas will show two years from now. It will easily continue to impress for the next two decades or more...Mastroberardino remains a reference point producer in the region, with its eyes firmly set on the future." 03/24

95 Points, James Suckling: "Vivid dark ruby color, with aromas of blueberry jelly, earth, black truffles, toasted pepper and chocolate. Velvety on the palate, with juicy acidity, a full body and very good fruit concentration. Great complexity and polish in the finish. Drink or hold..." 07/24

93 Points, Monica Larner, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "In the bottle with the black label, the Mastroberardino 2019 Taurasi Radici is a brambly and intense wine with dark fruit, resin and petroleum jelly. Those tertiary tones have taken hold for sure, but the mouthfeel is graciously not too heavy or thick. Texturally, it remains light on its feet, with hints of cumin, spice and dried berry fruit. This is an ample release of 75,000 bottles that to me has more depth and verticality compared to the two Naturalis Historia wines from 2018." 10/25
