Naturalis Historia is a wine made with grapes from a 40-year-old vineyard on our Mirabella Eclano estate. Highly structured and long-lived, it represents Irpinia, an ancient and gloomy territory that Virgil described as: "Land jealous of its many mysteries".

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.
