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
Greco di Tufo is one of the rare white wines to have a great ageing potential. This ancient and prestigious vine was brought in the province of Avellino by Pelasgians from Thessaly in Greece, in the first century BC. In the Campania region Greco is used to produce the Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita (DOCG) wine Greco di Tufo.
Hints of chamomile, pear, ripe fruits and dried fruits on the nose. The palate is fresh, mineral, structured and persistent.
