Contrade di Taurasi / Cantine Lonardo
“… you only have to taste the wines of Contrade di Taurasi/Lonardo, Guastaferro, and Mastroberardino, for example, to realize that world-class wines could be made with the Aglianico grape” – Ian D’Agata, Vinous
Sandro Lonardo makes some of the best values in powerful, Italian red wine. Based in Taurasi, he works primarily with the local Aglianico grape to produce wines that combine power and intensity with site-specific nuance that rival the best wines in Barolo and Brunello, yet without the high price.

The estate crafts classic, well-structured and delicious wines that outperform their modest price tags. It dates back to the 1990s, when Bruna (along with her husband, Franco Fiorino) began bottling her own wine.… Read the rest
