From Tuesday 14th till Thursday 16th October, Eataly Chicago will host the first edition of the Italian Food and Wine Festival. On Wednesday 15th the main protagonists will be the 30 wineries selected by the Merano Wine Festival. Today, the third and final focus on the wineries participating from Southern Italy
Southern wineries at the Food & Wine Festival in Chicago will be represented, as for Campania, by Mastroberardino, which is undoubtedly one of the names that has written the history of high quality Italian wines. We’re in the heart of Irpinia and today at the helm of this winery there’s Piero Mastroberardino who has focused on the valorisation of autochthonous grape varieties. Available for tasting, in Chicago, there will be: Greco di Tufo, with 100% Greco grapes, in the interpretation given by Mastrogreco Campania IGT 2013, in fine contrast with Novaserra 2008, an elegant and straightforward white wine that has a perfect harmony between nose and palate, and Taurasi docg Radici 2008, a complex wine in which tannins are based on Mediterranean notes, recalling flowers and wild mint.
La Guardiense, a winery run by winemaker Riccardo Cotarella, will represent the same region. The focus will be equally divided between white and red wines, with Sannio Aglianico Dop 2012 (100% aglianico) and Sannio Rosso Riserva 2008, a riserva made with 80% Sangiovese and 20% Aglianico. As for the white wines, the showcase will be dedicated to Falanghina and Greco del Sannio 2013, vinified in steel with an evident freshness.
