More Maiorum Fiano di Avellino DOCG 2016
Produced with grapes selected from a single vineyard, More Maiorum is among the highest expressions of the Fiano grape. The wine is a tribute to the tradition of vinification of whites in Irpinia, which were left to refine in wood and placed for tasting by wine lovers after a few years in the cellar: hence the name, which recalls "respect for the customs of the ancestors".

The Mastroberardino family has lived in the socio-cultural context of wine for over two centuries, based on the most reliable historical reconstructions.
The first traces of its presence in Irpinia date back to the Bourbon land registry, in the mid-eighteenth century, when the family chose the village of Atripalda as its headquarters, where the ancient cellars are still located, and from there originated a lineage that linked indissolubly their fate to the cult of wine.
Ten generations, since then, have led the family business, amidst ups and downs, as always happens in the stories of family businesses of more ancient origin.The family estates are located in Irpinia, cradle of three DOCGs: Greco di Tufo, Fiano di Avellino and Taurasi, distributed in the various areas of the territory with the aim of preserving their identity and ensuring their protection.
