Details

Mastroberardino is one of the leading wineries and wine families in all of Italy in terms of production, market impact, and innovation. This is one single family with a winemaking history which dates back to the early 18th century, and which is largely responsible for the viticultural success of Campania’s remote Irpinia area.The Mastroberardino family have earned themselves a place in Italys viticultural history as a guardian and protector of indigenous grapes of Southern Italys Campania region. The family has not just worked to maintain these varieties, but Mastroberardino has successfully turned would-be extinct grapes into world class varieties. This work of transformation began in earnest after WWII when Antonio Mastroberardino returned to his familys estate to find it in ruins– the result of economic hardships, phylloxera, neglect and war. Antonio refused to let his familys legacy fall to circumstance, however, and he worked tirelessly to restore the land he loved.The Mastroberardino family achieved this restorative transformatoin by replanting existing vineyards and purchasing the best land they could find to focus on revitalizing Campanias three ancient varietals of Fiano, Greco, and Aglianico.
