(@ WW): Transparent red. At first lactic in the bouquet, but that disappears after a while. Then there are some cherries. Within 15 minutes the wine gives completely different impressions on the palate. At first just strange minerality, but acceptable with barnyard and some drying tannin. After a short while the wine becomes really unpleasant with tastes I cannot describe. Not anyone of the tasters thought this was a faulty bottle, but I hope so. I will score it anyway in case I come across this wine again, but I certainly will never buy it. (2765 views) | | | Tasted by gdbarton1@gmail.com on 4/20/2010: Very dark purple. Opaque. Muted black fruit nose. Medium bodied, rich black fruit. Short finish. Simple, black fruit balanced but no finish (2618 views) | | | Tasted by WY Leonidas on 1/1/2010 & rated 88 points: First tried this one on vacation in Naples. Nose has very nice earthy/gamey/peppery characters. Exceptionally smooth medium body. Lots of earthy cherries fill the palate, but the aftertaste is quite short. A great food wine, this is extremely enjoyable with southern Italian food (red sauces).

| 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)
