🍷 Neroameta
Neroameta: white wine by Mastroberardino from Atripalda in Irpinia; Campania Bianco IGT.
Neroameta is a white wine by Mastroberardino from Atripalda in Irpinia. It is made from Aglianico alone. The label says Campania Bianco IGT. Campania IGT is the protected geographical indication of the whole of Campania.
According to the house, after the hard 1950s and 1960s it was Antonio Mastroberardino who brought Fiano back among the leading grapes of the province of Avellino. The name hints at the paradox: a white wine from the red Aglianico grape. According to the sheet, the vines are on average 20 years old, 4,000 vines per hectare, a yield of about 70 quintals per hectare.
The Aglianico is made as a white: whole bunches without skin contact, then about 12 months on the lees; a small part ferments in 500-litre tonneaux; then 36+ months in bottle. The house suggests serving it at 12–14 °C, with fish, cheese, pasta with light sauces, vegetable dishes.
Other wines of the same estate: Novaserra, Radici Fiano di Avellino, Stilèma Fiano di Avellino.
The WHO reminds: there is no safe level of alcohol.
