About the Producer

The Mastroberardino family has been dipped in the world and culture of winemaking for about three centuries. The most authoritative reports suggest that one Berardino, taking the professional title 'Mastro' - master craftsman - began the lineage in the 1700’s. He established the winery’s headquarters in Atripalda in the heart of the Irpinia winemaking region and, since then, ten generations have run the business, seeing periods of both expansion and contraction, recurring circumstances in the history of family businesses of ancient origin.

The family estates are all located in Irpinia, in the heart of the production areas of three DOCGs: Greco di Tufo, Fiano di Avellino, Taurasi. They are distributed in several areas in order to preserve the identity of the local varieties and vineyards, as well as ensuring their preservation and enhancement both in Italy and throughout the world.

The family, in fact, has always paid great attention to the safeguard and promotion of local grape varieties such as Aglianico, Fiano, Greco, Falanghina, Piedirosso, and Coda di Volpe, all dating back to Greek and Roman times.

While their survival from the ravages of phylloxera and World War II was ensured through the indefatigable work of Antonio Mastroberardino, today the guide of the family business is entrusted to Piero Mastroberardino, an accomplished and modern entrepreneur as well as Professor of Business Management at the University and writer of several works of narrative and poetry. Since May 2015 he is president of the Institute of the Italian Quality Wine “Grandi Marchi”.

Vineyard

The grapes are sourced from the Manocalzati and Montefalcione vineyards. The first one is located close to the village of Atripalda. It is planted exclusively with Fiano di Avellino grapes, on a soil rich in clay. The vineyard, approximately 30 years old, was the basis for an in-depth study of the Fiano grape, acting as a field for the mass selection of improvement biotypes, then used in replanting the estates of Santo Stefano del Sole, Lapio and Montefalcione. This last one - also dedicated exclusively to the production of Fiano di Avellino – was planted at high density. It is characterized by typically volcanic, very loose soil, which brings about vigorous and vegetative growth in the vineyards, an important prerequisite for full aromatic expression in Fiano. It also represents a field of viticultural experimentation for the tests relating to plant densities.

Both estates of Manocalzati e Montefalcione are sited mainly on mid-mixture, loose and well drained soils with a South-East exposure and at 400 m a.s.l. The training system is the “espalier” with “guyot” pruning with a density of plantation of 3,000 vines/hectare (about 1,200 vines/acre) and an yield of about 7,000 kg/ha and 2.3 kg/vine. On average the vines are 15 years old.
