About the Wine

The surname Mastroberardino is synonymous with wine in Italy. This family is largely responsible for the resurgence of wine culture in the Campania after World War II.

The winemaking history of this family dates to more than 10 generations, from the 18th century. A story of passion and strength, a story about rebuilding all the damage that war can cause. Antonio Mastroberardino, who was the 9th generation, fought in World War II. He returned to his home in Atripalda to find what would be a nightmare, his family's wine estate destroyed due to the war and all the negative consequences that follow a war. Antonio, devastated by the war and the conditions in which he found the family’s patrimony, decided to start from scratch and rebuild his legacy. Thanks to his love, passion, and hard work, he managed to restore both the vineyard and the cellar and make it even more magnificent than it was before the war.

The Mastroberardino family, leaders in Italian viticulture, revived Irpinian and Campanian winemaking post-WWII. They sparked a renaissance in Southern Italy’s red and white wines, transforming nearly extinct native grapes like Fiano, Greco, and Aglianico into world-class varieties.

The large vineyard of Mastroberardino is composed of more than 785 acres. Located in the areas of Greco di Tufo, Fiano di Avellino, and Taurasi (all in the province of Irpinia). Irpinia is a paradise, with the Alps mountains in the foreground, the Mediterranean Sea as its neighbor, and a continental climate that allows for a wonderful development of the varieties that are planted.

Piero, Antonio's son, is a passionate winegrower and is the current director of the winery. Piero has brought great knowledge to the winery thanks to his research and plantation projects and his passion for continuing to rebuild the family legacy.

Tasting Notes

100% Greco. An intense bouquet of tropical fruit and white flowers. Fresh and fruity on the palate, with lively acidity. This wine pairs lovely with appetizers, seafood, fish and salads.
