Indulge in the captivating allure of Mastroberardino's Stilèma Taurasi DOCG, a wine that embodies the rich history and terroir of Campania. This exquisite red, crafted from 100% Aglianico grapes, hails from the prestigious Taurasi region, renowned for producing wines of remarkable depth and complexity.

Stilèma, meaning 'style' or 'manner' in Italian, perfectly encapsulates the essence of this wine. Its deep ruby-red color hints at the intensity that awaits, while the aromas of ripe dark fruits, such as black cherry and plum, intermingle with enticing notes of spice and earth. On the palate, the wine showcases a harmonious balance of fruit, acidity, and well-structured tannins, leading to a long, satisfying finish.

The 2016 vintage, presented here, exemplifies the exceptional quality that Mastroberardino consistently achieves. As a Riserva, this Taurasi has been aged with meticulous care, developing layers of complexity that will enthrall even the most discerning palate. A minimum of three years of aging, including at least one year in wood, ensures that the wine has reached its full potential, resulting in a refined and elegant experience.

Mastroberardino is a celebrated name in the world of Italian wine, with a heritage dating back to the 18th century. The family-run winery has been instrumental in the revival and promotion of indigenous grape varieties like Aglianico. They are masters in preserving tradition with modern techniques, producing wines that express the unique character of their territory. Located in Atripalda, in the heart of Campania, the winery's vineyards are deeply rooted in volcanic soils, creating wines that are full of mineral undertones and complexity.

Stilèma pairs beautifully with hearty dishes like roasted lamb, braised beef, or aged cheeses. Its robust structure and complex flavors make it a versatile partner for a variety of culinary experiences, from special occasion feasts to a cozy night in. The wine is also perfect as a 'meditation wine' to drink at the end of a long day. To fully appreciate the nuances of Stilèma, we recommend serving it at a temperature of 18°C and allowing it to breathe for about 30 minutes before enjoying. Let this wine be your introduction to a fantastic experience, with it's perfect taste, deep aroma and long finish.
