| Community Tasting Notes (average 82.3 pts. and median of 83 pts. in 4 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Eugene on 2/19/2009 & rated 85 points: I always wanted to try this wine just because of the name-Christ tears and the legend that vines grew on mount Vesuvio where they fall blah blah blah...
Red color lighter at the edges with brown hue showing sings of aging (already?).
Earthy nose with striking smell of freshly cut mushrooms, which I like a lot. Some coffee and leather.
Medium to full body, dusty cherries on the palate with some dark fruit and earth flavors. Smooth easy drinking wine. Short finish.
Pleasant everyday wine but overpriced. (2708 views) | | | Tasted by mklarman on 1/31/2009 & rated 82 points: There wasn't anything in particular wrong with it and it was good with food, but probably wouldn't buy again at the price. (2777 views) | | | Tasted by argento007 on 12/31/2008 & rated 84 points: Definitely a food wine but very interesting. Nose of some red fruit, leather and dust. On the palate of mineral and leather but the fruit is not there very much. Short finish and not super memorable. (2731 views) | | | Tasted by Gotwine1969 on 6/3/2008 & rated 78 points: Initial VA aromas that lean towards balsamic vinegar. More fruit on the palate but very light bodied and simple with similar vinegar notes. Was better with pasta and tomato sauce but not recommended. (2933 views) |
| Mastroberardino Producer websitePiedirossoPiedirosso is an ancient, black-skinned grape variety found throughout Campania, Italy.
Single-variety wines made from Piedirosso tend to be deep ruby in color and full bodied with soft tannins. Typical flavors in these wines include plum, cherry and brambly wild berry fruit. More complex characteristics such as espresso, mushroom and damp earth are exhibited in the better examples.
A minerally, almost salty characteristic can be found in many Piedirosso wines. This can in part be attributed to the volcanic soils in which the grape thrives.Italy Italian Wines (ItalianMade.com, The Italian Trade Commission) | Italian Wine Guide on the WineDoctorCampania Region Website (ItalianMade.com)
