WINES OF SOUTHERN ITALY
Mastroberardino
Established in the 1750s by winemaker Pietro di Mastro Berardino, Mastroberardino is Campania’s most
renowned winery. Pietro was awarded the professional title of Mastro as testament to his skill in quality
winemaking, a tradition that continued uninterrupted for 10 generations and lives on to this day.
“Mastro” Greco Campania IGT
Made from 100% Greco grapes, this wine is fermented in stainless steel tanks under controlled
temperatures.
Lacryma Christi del Vesuvio Bianco DOC
The name of this wine is entwined with a legend. According to the story, God cried when he found a
corner of Heaven stolen by Lucifer and where his tears fell, there grew the grapes that make Lacryma
Christi, which translates as “tears of Christ.” Made from 100% Coda di Volpe grown in volcanic soil, this
wine is fermented in stainless steel to preserve its unique, fresh profile.
Falanghina del Sannio DOC
The Mastroberardino family is dedicated to making wine from ancient varieties that are indigenous
to the region. Falanghina is the primary grape for the Sannio appellation and is named after falangae,
a Latin term for supporting stakes. Many believe this grape to have been the basis of the legendary
Falernian wine, the most prized wine of ancient Rome, due to its unique profile and fragrance.
“NovaSerra” Greco di Tufo DOCG
The Mastroberardino family has rescued and relaunched the ancient Greco di Tufo vine, which was near
extinction. NovaSerra, made from rigorously selected grapes, has great organoleptic complexity. The label
features details from a painting by De Rosa, which can be found on the ceiling of the winery’s cellar.
