Mastroberardino is one of Italy’s leading wineries and wine families, whose history dates to the early 18th century. As one of Italy’s top winemaking estates, it holds a proud place in Italy’s viticultural history as a guardian of native grapes of southern Italy’s Campania region. The family has not just worked to maintain them but has also successfully turned almost extinct grapes into world class varieties.
