Mastroberardino is a celebrated name in the world of Italian wine, with a heritage dating back to the 18th century. The family-run winery has been instrumental in the revival and promotion of indigenous grape varieties like Aglianico. They are masters in preserving tradition with modern techniques, producing wines that express the unique character of their territory.
