Where is Mastroberardino winery?

Mastroberardino is based at Via Re Manfredi in Atripalda, a small town in the province of Avellino in the Campania region of southern Italy, in the heart of the Irpinia wine country.

Can you visit Mastroberardino?

Yes. The historic cellars in Atripalda are open for guided visits and tastings, with eight themed wine experiences focused on Fiano, Greco, Aglianico, Taurasi, Cru, Icon, Red Emotions and the Stilèma range. Bookings are handled through the Mastroberardino Experience portal at mastroberardinoexperience.it.

What is Mastroberardino's flagship wine?

The Radici Taurasi DOCG is widely treated as the flagship: a long-aged Aglianico from Irpinia that put modern Taurasi on the international map. Naturalis Historia and the recent Stilèma line are the other top Aglianico-led wines.

Is Mastroberardino family-run?

Yes. The estate has been registered in the family name since 1878, and the family says its winemaking roots in Irpinia go back eleven generations. Antonio Mastroberardino runs the company today alongside his sons Piero and Carlo.

What is the Pompeii Villa dei Misteri project?

In 1996 the Italian government invited Mastroberardino to replant vineyards inside the Pompeii archaeological park, recreating the grape varieties and training systems used before the eruption of Vesuvius in AD 79. The first commercial release came in 2001, and bottles are still produced under the Villa dei Misteri label.

Does Mastroberardino have a restaurant on site?

The estate's restaurant is Morabianca, sited inside the Radici Resort at Mirabella Eclano, a 60-hectare property surrounded by Aglianico, Fiano, Greco and Falanghina vines. It is part of the same Mastroberardino group and forms the food half of the Wine and Food Experience offering.

Casa Vinicola Mastroberardino

Campania, Italy

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, and today Antonio Mastroberardino works alongside his sons Carlo and Piero, drawing on Aglianico, Fiano, Greco and the other native grapes that the family helped pull back from the brink in the post-phylloxera decades. The estate is best known for the Radici Taurasi DOCG, but the wider range covers Greco di Tufo, Fiano di Avellino, Lacryma Christi del Vesuvio and the Pompeii Villa dei Misteri project initiated 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. The estate was formally registered in 1878 by Angelo Mastroberardino, great-great-grandfather of current owner Piero, but the family had been working Irpinia vineyards for generations before that. Eleven generations later the company is still run by the family: Antonio Mastroberardino, often nicknamed the Grape Archaeologist, alongside his sons Piero and Carlo. The reason Mastroberardino looms so large in Campanian wine history is the work it did with native grapes. After phylloxera tore through Italian vineyards in the early twentieth century, much of southern Italy replanted with international varieties. The Mastroberardinos held the line on Aglianico, Fiano, Greco, Coda di Volpe, Piedirosso and Falanghina, and spent decades arguing that Irpinia's volcanic and clay soils belonged to those grapes. Today every one of those varieties has DOC or DOCG protection, and a generation of newer Campanian producers learned from this catalogue. Around 60 hectares of family vineyards feed the cellar, with Taurasi at the heart of the range. Radici Taurasi DOCG is the flagship: long maturation, 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, and the recent Stilèma line, framed as the family's most expressive single-grape style. The estate also produces Lacryma Christi del Vesuvio DOC and an entry-level Mastro Aglianico Campania IGT for everyday drinking, which is the bottle currently featured on italianwines.co.uk. In 1996 the Italian government commissioned the family to replant vineyards inside the archaeological park at Pompeii, using the grape varieties and training systems described in Roman texts and excavated frescoes. The Villa dei Misteri wines released since 2001 are the public face of that work. Closer to home, the estate's hospitality runs through the Mastroberardino Experience portal: cellar tours of the historic Atripalda cellars, themed wine flights focused on Fiano, Greco, Aglianico and Taurasi, plus food 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.
