| Community Tasting Notes (average 86.6 pts. and median of 86 pts. in 11 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Zambraia on 2/20/2021 & rated 86 points: Really funky on the nose. Rotten broccoli. (558 views) | | | Tasted by WY Leonidas on 4/3/2014 & rated 88 points: Extremely earth-driven. Very compelling brambly cherry and spicy dirt. Something hauntingly appealing about this. Seemed to have more body than previous bottle. (2421 views) | | | Tasted by Appletree on 3/16/2014: Wine tasted unpleasant. (2603 views) | | | Tasted by WY Leonidas on 11/24/2013 & rated 85 points: Well balanced. Good tart cherry and cranberry, earth. Not bad, but a little thin. (2443 views) | | | Tasted by DC 1111 on 11/8/2013 & rated 87 points: Light and fruit with an undeniable Italian dark earthy turn on the finish. (2457 views) | | | Tasted by Corgoson on 10/18/2013 & rated 85 points: Nose: high acidic nose, raspberry and cranberry sour. A little bready yeast, urine, new leather. Taste: dry, cassis, blueberry, medium-light body, white bread finish, cranberry, raisin, dry black tea tannin, and soapy perfume. A little ammino in the after taste, and the bitter/acidic end palate actually transitioned nicely into a veggie stew-like finish. (548 views) | | | Tasted by thirsty_cat on 10/18/2013 & rated 83 points: Nose: cranberry, mossy, marshy mustiness (cranberry bog). Peat smoke, toast/bread crust, slight vanilla extract, violet. Taste: dry, medium-light body, fruit-forward. Mixed berry (blueberry, raspberry, cranberry), slight raisiny notes to balance tartness. Sandy tannins on a mid-length finish. Very juice-like but easy drinking. Too light for my tastes. 83 (2011 views) | | | Tasted by lifeattable on 8/24/2013 & rated 88 points: Simple, fruity, delicious. Great summer red for pizzas, grilled meats, even fish. (643 views) | | | Tasted by Tige on 2/3/2013 & rated 87 points: Léger et court mais tout de même complexe. Vu le prix, une belle option comme premier vin en apéro. (789 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)
