Mastroberardino is a wine producer based in Campania, southern Italy, operating in the Greco di Tufo DOCG appellation. The family has been making wine in this region for generations, focusing on indigenous grape varieties that thrive in the volcanic soils around Mount Vesuvius and the hills of Irpinia.

Greco di Tufo DOCG represents one of Campania's most distinctive white wine appellations, centered around the ancient Greco grape variety. The denomination covers hillside vineyards in the province of Avellino, where volcanic and calcareous soils combined with a continental climate create ideal conditions for producing structured white wines with notable mineral character and aging potential. The Greco grape, despite its name suggesting Greek origins, has been cultivated in this area for centuries and produces wines known for their crisp acidity, citrus notes, and distinctive almond finish.

Mastroberardino's current offering focuses on Greco di Tufo, showcasing this native variety that exemplifies the volcanic terroir of Campania. The producer's approach emphasizes expressing the mineral-driven character that defines quality wines from this DOCG zone.

La Campanie occupe la côte sud-ouest de l'Italie, s'étendant des pentes volcaniques du Mont Vésuve près de Naples jusqu'à la péninsule du Cilento. Cette région viticole ancienne englobe des terrains divers allant des plaines côtières aux zones montagneuses intérieures, avec des traditions viticoles remontant à la colonisation grecque au 8ème siècle avant J.-C. La production de vin de la région s'articule autour des provinces d'Avellino, Bénévent et Salerne, où les variétés de raisin indigènes se sont adaptées aux microclimats locaux au cours des millénaires.

Les sols volcaniques de la région, en particulier autour du Vésuve et dans les collines d'Irpinia, offrent un drainage exceptionnel et une complexité minérale. Le climat méditerranéen de la Campanie se caractérise par des étés chauds et secs modérés par les brises côtières et l'altitude des sites viticoles plus élevés. Les appellations clés incluent Taurasi DOCG pour les vins rouges, Greco di Tufo DOCG et Fiano di Avellino DOCG pour les blancs, ainsi que des désignations plus larges comme Falanghina del Sannio DOC et diverses zones IGT qui permettent une plus grande flexibilité stylistique.

La force de la Campanie réside dans ses variétés de raisin autochtones, en particulier le trio blanc de Fiano, Greco et Falanghina, chacun exprimant des caractéristiques distinctes façonnées par le terroir volcanique. Le Fiano produit des vins structurés, aptes au vieillissement, avec des notes miellées, tandis que le Greco offre des expressions minérales avec des qualités d'agrumes et d'herbes. La Falanghina offre des vins frais et aromatiques allant des styles côtiers croustillants aux expressions intérieures plus complexes. Le raisin rouge Aglianico, connu sous le nom de « Barolo du Sud », crée des vins puissants et tanniques à Taurasi qui nécessitent un vieillissement prolongé pour révéler leur pleine complexité.

Greco di Tufo DOCG is located in the Campania region of southern Italy, centered around the town of Tufo in the province of Avellino. The appellation was elevated to DOCG status in 2003, recognizing the exceptional quality potential of wines produced in this volcanic terrain. The zone encompasses eight communes in the Irpinia hills, situated at elevations between 300 and 700 meters above sea level.

The vineyards benefit from volcanic soils rich in sulfur and minerals, remnants of ancient volcanic activity that give the town of Tufo its name. The continental climate features warm days and cool nights, with significant diurnal temperature variation that helps preserve acidity in the grapes. Only the Greco grape variety is permitted, and it must comprise 100% of the wine. Traditional winemaking methods often involve fermentation in stainless steel to preserve the variety's natural aromatics, though some producers experiment with oak aging or extended lees contact.

Greco di Tufo wines are characterized by their mineral-driven profile and distinctive volcanic terroir expression. The wines typically display citrus and stone fruit flavors, often accompanied by almond notes and a characteristic saline minerality. With age, these wines can develop honeyed complexity while maintaining their crisp acidity and elegant structure, making them particularly food-friendly with seafood and Mediterranean cuisine.
