Mastroberardino, Campania, Italy
Mastroberardino is one of the leading wineries and wine families in Italy in terms of production, market impact and innovation. This is one family with a winemaking history dating back to the early 18th century, and which is largely responsible for the viticultural success of Campania’s remote Irpinia area, successfully turned would-be extinct grapes into world class varieties.
The family estates are all located in Irpinia, in the heart of the areas of production of the three DOCGs: Greco di Tufo, Fiano di Avellino and Taurasi. Today Mastroberardino’s production has grown to 16 wine estates across Campania.
Max Allen wrote an article in The Australian in which he said that a Mastroberardino wine "…changed my life.”
Tasting Notes
Fiano is a grape variety of ancient origins that date back to Roman times. In that period it was known as Vitis Apiana for the sweetness of its berries so pleasing to bees. After the hard period of the Sixties, during which we risked losing the ancient heritage of the native varieties of the province, the obstinate work of Antonio Mastroberardino brought back Fiano among the most cultivated vines in the province of Avellino, generating enthusiasm for the growing outside the region too.
