Mastroberardino – Lacrimarosa Irpinia Rosato – Campania

Overview:The Mastroberardino family, leaders in Italian viticulture, are largely responsible for the revival and elevation of Irpinian and Campanian winemaking post WWII. Their efforts ignited a resurgence in quality red and white wine production in all of Southern Italy. Working primarily with Campania??s ancient, native varietals, Fiano, Greco, and Aglianico, Mastroberardino has resuscitated would-be extinct grapes into world class varieties.

Lacrimarosa, meaning pink tears, is named from the method of production, whereby Aglianico grapes are gently pressed, imparting a slight pink color and light, aromatic profile to the wine.

Tasting Notes: Pale pink. Fruit forward, with a delicate bouquet of white peaches, honey, strawberries, raspberries, peonies, and red currants.

Pairing: Pair with antipasti, grilled vegetables, pork or chicken dishes.
