Tradition is of value only insofar as it demands coherence and credibility in taking decisions that may from time to time may be asked of those involved in the pursuit of excellence.
The Mastroberardino family has been dipped in the world and culture of winemaking for about three centuries. The most authoritative reports suggest that one Berardino, taking the professional title 'Mastro' - master craftsman - began the lineage in the seventeen hundreds. Once it had chosen its headquarters in Atripalda in the heart of the Irpinia winemaking region?, still the site of the ancient cellars, the family inextricably linked its fate to the cult of wine.
Since then, ten generations have run the business, seeing periods of both expansion and contraction, recurring circumstances in the history of family businesses of ancient origin.
