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 Tufo estate’s name clearly indicates the geological origin of the land on which this small village stands. It was one of the most important mining centres in southern Italy for the extraction of sulphur, which still manifests itself in the aromatic and gustatory profile of the wines obtained from this terroir. The Greco di Tufo DOCG obtained from this site is characterized by notes of fresh acidity along with sulphuric minerality. Some unique aromatic notes typical of this variety emerge during ageing. The vineyard of Petruro Irpino is situated on the border with the town of Tufo and has soils rich in clay and stones. Here, the Greco grape has found, on a piece of land enclosed in 61 square kilometres, on the hills flanking the Sabato river, its ideal location. Ancient plantings of Greco in this area have led to its perfect adaptation to the environment and local climate, unusual here when compared to other areas of Southern Italy.

Both estates of Tufo and Petruro Irpino are sited mainly on mid-mixture, loose and well drained soils with a South-East exposure and at 350 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 8,000 kg/ha and 2.6 kg/vine. On average the vines are 15 years old.
