The complex character of a great wine vests in importance to the whole, to the unique moment that generate it, to the relationship between the different phases of the process which contribute to outline its personality. The vineyard is the first step on this path. It is a place where man's care and dedication contribute to the safeguarding of natural resources, in territories which have confirmed their extraordinary vocation to the quality of wine-making for thousand years. The Mastroberardino family's holdings are spread across several parts of Irpinia, in the areas which have historically proved to be the centre of production of the great wines of the region. In recognition of the role Mastroberardino has played in the protection of the viticultural and oenological heritage of the Roman age, under the patronage of the “Presidenza della Repubblica”, the winery has been appointed to reintroduce vine growing in the ancient city of Pompeii. The idea was to replant the vineyards with the same historic vines which, like two thousand years ago, define the wine-making tradition of the area.
