It stands out for its remarkable ageing potential combined with an agile and smooth drinkability. On the nose, it reveals fruity and floral notes, enriched by spicy nuances of tobacco, vanilla and leather. On the palate, it is fresh and complex, supported by a \u003cstrong\u003esilky tannin\u003c\/strong\u003e that ensures perfect structural balance. The pronounced \u003cstrong\u003egustatory tension\u003c\/strong\u003e makes it ideal for pairing with first courses featuring porcini mushrooms, game-based dishes and mature cheeses, confirming its excellent \u003cstrong\u003egastronomic versatility\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes come from four family estates located within the Taurasi area in Campania. The vineyards are spread across Pietradefusi, Montemarano, Paternopoli and Mirabella Eclano, at altitudes ranging from 350 to 600 metres above sea level, optimal conditions for the slow and gradual ripening of the bunches. The soils are heterogeneous, alternating between \u003cstrong\u003eclay and limestone soils\u003c\/strong\u003e and medium-textured matrices enriched with sandy sandstones and silt. This varied pedoclimatic mosaic gives the Aglianico a pronounced \u003cstrong\u003earomatic intensity\u003c\/strong\u003e and a distinct \u003cstrong\u003esavoury freshness\u003c\/strong\u003e, enhancing the pure expression of the terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe production process begins with a rigorous manual harvest between the end of October and the beginning of November, selecting grapes from low-yield vineyards. In the winery, the must undergoes a \u003cstrong\u003eshort maceration\u003c\/strong\u003e on the skins at a controlled temperature, an essential technique for achieving moderate and precise phenolic extraction. The wine then matures for about two years in \u003cstrong\u003eSlavonian oak casks\u003c\/strong\u003e and in French oak barriques that are not first use, acquiring structure without excessive wood influence. A subsequent and prolonged \u003cstrong\u003ebottle ageing\u003c\/strong\u003e of at least thirty months harmonises the texture and defines the stylistic rigour of the final sip.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eTaurasi Stilema Riserva 2017\u003c\/strong\u003e by Mastroberardino represents a splendid modern interpretation of the renowned Taurasi wines of the 1950s and 1960s.
