Mastroberardino Description

Named after Pliny the Elder’s historical tome, Naturalis Historia is sourced from a single vineyard, Mirabella Eclano, which is known for its high quality potential from old vines—up to forty years old. Very structured and long-lived, this wine is considered the flagship of this ancient volcanic Irpinian terroir.

8,000 bottles produced

Tasting Notes

Intense ruby-red in color, seductive aromas of violets and black fruits complement undertones of berries and chocolate. On the palate, it is flavorful, full-bodied, and velvety with a long, evolving finish.

Food Pairing

Pair this wine with roasted beef, Mornay sauces, farsumagru, and Chateaubriand.

Wine Spectator: 93 Points

This bright red is full-bodied and mouthwatering, packed with ripe raspberry and black cherry fruit and licorice snap, mandarin orange peel and smoky mineral notes. Creamy tannins firm the lingering, aromatic finish. Drink now through 2029. 660 cases made.
