Hailing from the steep slopes of Campania, the Mastroberardino Taurasi Riserva ‘Stilèma’ 2016 is a captivating representation of its origin. This 91-point stunner, celebrated by the Decanter World Wine Awards, boasts a harmonious blend of ripe blackberry, cherry, and spicy licorice notes, underpinned by a subtle hint of leather. The wine’s robust structure and refined tannins make it a compelling choice for those fond of bold, full-bodied reds. Its depth and complexity lend it to being paired perfectly with hearty meat dishes, particularly lamb or beef stews. Although it’s a splurge, this wine delivers well beyond its peers, making it a smart buy for those seeking unparalleled quality.
