Mastroberardino Irpinia Aglianico Redimore 2014

The name Redimore, or "king of blackberries," recalls the youthful aromas of its single varietal composition.  100% Aglianico grapes harvested in October go into the vats which produce Redimore. The grapes are aged in French oak barriques for 12 months. The perfumes, flavors and plumpness of the fruit are typycal of this young Aglianico.
