Fiano di Avellino DOCG
Fiano has ancient origins that date back to Roman times, a period in which this vine was known as Vitis Apiana for the sweetness of its berries so popular with bees. After the difficult period of the 1960s, in which the ancient provincial viticultural heritage was risked, the stubborn action of Antonio Mastroberardino brought Fiano back to one of the most cultivated vines in the province of Avellino, arousing interest in cultivation even outside the region

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.
