2024 Mastroberardino Falanghina del Sannio, Campania, Italy
ABOUT THIS WINE
100% Falanghina from vineyards located in the Apice estate, in the Sannio region of Campania. The soils here are mid-mixture, loose and well drained, characterized by volcanic soils rich in minerals.The elevation and coastal breezes create a balance of ripeness and freshness in the grapes. After harvest, grapes are crushed, then fermented for 20 days in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. Finally, the wine is aged for 2-3 months in bottle.
ABOUT THIS PRODUCER
Mastroberardino is what happens when 10 generations of grape whisperers say “no thanks” to trends and “yes please” to legacy. Since the early 1700s, this Irpinian icon has been a time capsule of Campania’s native grapes—like Fiano, Greco, and the brooding, age-defying Aglianico. When others ditched their roots for trendier international grapes, the Mastroberardinos doubled down on local heritage. And thank Dionysus they did.
Angelo kicked off exports in 1878. His son Michele took the wines global. And Antonio? He’s the reason we still sip Taurasi today—resurrecting vineyards post-WWII and earning the nickname “vine archaeologist.” Fast forward to now: Piero Mastroberardino blends tradition and innovation across 260 hectares and 17 estates. Their Radici Taurasi Riserva 2016 even cracked Wine Spectator’s Top 10 in 2023.
In short: they don’t just make wine. They bottle centuries.
