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.

Story From the twinning of the selections of Aglianico grapes from the Montemarano and Mirabella Eclano estates, the Radici Taurasi wine is the emblematic label of classic viticulture by Mastroberardino. Montemarano village represents a historical site in the production of Taurasi, located in the southernmost area of the DOCG area. Here, the sharp temperature range and slower ripening determine the conditions for a late harvest, generally in November, offering grapes richer in noble tannins and acidity to enhance longevity. Mirabella Eclano village is the epicentre of production, research and experimentation on Aglianico, which is the main variety of grape cultivated in Mirabella.
