History

Mastroberardino, based at Atripalda near Avellino, is the historic house of Irpinia and the single producer most responsible for saving Campania's ancient native grapes. Through the phylloxera crisis and the industrialisation of the 20th century, when many growers abandoned Aglianico, Fiano and Greco for higher-yielding varieties, Mastroberardino kept faith with them — and so preserved the raw material of Campania's modern renaissance.

The family has made wine in Irpinia for many generations and is today led by Piero Mastroberardino. Its Taurasi 'Radici' is a benchmark of the great southern Aglianico — structured and long-lived — while its Fiano di Avellino and Greco di Tufo set the standard for Campania's two flagship whites.

The house was also entrusted with replanting ancient vines at Pompeii (the 'Villa dei Misteri' project), underscoring its role as custodian of Campanian viticultural heritage.
