1998 Mastroberardino Taurasi Radici Riserva
BY ERIC GUIDO |
I'm a seasonal wine drinker. In the spring, I find myself craving high-elevation Grenache, Barbera, Pinot Noir or a juicy Frappato. With summer comes the fresh whites of northern Italy and Loire Sauvignon Blanc. Once fall hits, it’s all about Sangiovese and the Rhône. However, as soon as it feels like winter, when sweaters start to be worn indoors and the meals turn meatier and richer, all I want to drink is mature Barolo and Taurasi. It’s at this time of year that I pull a mixed case of the two from my storage, and stand the wines up so that all I need to do is choose, pull, decant and indulge.
