"Established in the 1750s by winemaker Pietro di Mastro Berardino, Mastroberardino is Campania's most renowned winery. Pietro was awarded the professional title of Mastro as testament to his skill in quality winemaking, a tradition that continued uninterrupted for 10 generations and lives on to this day. Radici means "roots" in Italian, which signifies Mastroberardino's devotion to safeguarding the indigenous varieties of ancient Irpinia. The grape Fiano was known in antiquity as apiana as it was noticed that bees ("api" in Italian) had a particular affinity for this vine. A rare vine, it was traditionally found near hazelnut orchards and, as a happy result, seems to have adopted some of these notes into its flavor profile. Straw-yellow in color, aromas of pear and tropical fruits are complemented by undertones of acacia, toasted nut, honey, and spring flowers. On the palate, excellent acidity and smooth body push a long finish that features a hint of almonds. Pair this wine with grilled lake or river fish, bechamel sauces, chicken scallopini, or spicy kani salads." - Distributor Notes
