Casa Vinicola Mastroberardino
Mastroberardino is a Campanian wine estate in Atripalda, deep in the Irpinia hills outside Avellino. The cellars have been in the same family since 1878. Today Antonio Mastroberardino works alongside his sons Carlo and Piero. The family helped pull Aglianico, Fiano, Greco and the other native grapes back from the brink in the decades after phylloxera. The estate is best known for the Radici Taurasi DOCG. The wider range covers Greco di Tufo, Fiano di Avellino and Lacryma Christi del Vesuvio, plus the Pompeii Villa dei Misteri project begun in 1996.

About Casa Vinicola Mastroberardino
The Mastroberardino cellars sit on Via Re Manfredi in Atripalda, a small town on the river Sabato a few kilometres east of Avellino. Angelo Mastroberardino formally registered the estate in 1878. He was the great-great-grandfather of current owner Piero, and the family had worked Irpinia vineyards for generations before that. Eleven generations on, the company is still run by the family. Antonio Mastroberardino, often nicknamed the Grape Archaeologist, works alongside his sons Piero and Carlo.
Mastroberardino looms large in Campanian wine history because of its work with native grapes. Phylloxera tore through Italian vineyards in the early 1900s, and much of southern Italy replanted with international grapes. The Mastroberardinos held the line on Aglianico, Fiano, Greco, Coda di Volpe, Piedirosso and Falanghina. They spent decades arguing that Irpinia's volcanic and clay soils belonged to those grapes. Today every one of those grapes has DOC or DOCG protection. A generation of newer Campanian producers learned from this catalogue.
Around 60 hectares of family vineyards feed the cellar, about 84 football pitches. Taurasi sits at the heart of the range. Radici Taurasi DOCG is the flagship: long ageing, dense Aglianico fruit, the kind of bottle that asks for time. Naturalis Historia, the other top Aglianico, leans more towards finesse. The whites build outwards from More Maiorum, the most ambitious Fiano di Avellino DOCG. The recent Stilèma line is framed as the family's most expressive single-grape style. The estate also makes Lacryma Christi del Vesuvio DOC and the entry-level Mastro Aglianico Campania IGT for everyday drinking.
In 1996 the Italian government commissioned the family to replant vineyards inside the archaeological park at Pompeii. The plantings follow the grapes and vine-training methods described in Roman texts and unearthed frescoes. The Villa dei Misteri wines, released since 2001, are the public face of that work.
Visits run through the Mastroberardino Experience portal. There are cellar tours of the historic Atripalda cellars, and themed wine flights focused on Fiano, Greco, Aglianico and Taurasi. Food is at Morabianca, the on-site restaurant inside the Radici Resort at Mirabella Eclano. Tastings start from EUR 20, and almost every visit needs to be booked ahead.
