Description

From where could we start, if not from the vine, with respect to which Italy has an unchallenged supremacy so as to give the impression of having passed, with this single resource, the richness of any other country, even those that produce perfume? After all, there is no greater delight in the world than the fragrance of the flowering vine. (Plinio, Naturalis Historia, XIV, 8)

The Mastroberardino family has been involved in the socio-cultural context of winemaking for over two centuries, according to the most reliable historical reconstructions. The first traces of their presence in Irpinia date back to the Bourbon land registry, in the mid- eighteenth century , when the family chose the village of Atripalda as their headquarters, where the ancient cellars are still located, and from there a lineage began that inextricably linked its fortunes to the cult of wine.

Ten generations have since then run the family business, amidst alternating fortunes, as always happens in the histories of long-standing family businesses. Read more
