Description

Join us on May 20th at 6:30 for a tasting of these incredible wines hosted by Sean Mankowski The Mastroberardino family has been farming grapes and producing wine since the mid-18th century, dating back ten generations. It was 9th generation, Antonio Mastroberardino, who brought the winery international recognition, but his career was initially mired in hardship. After WWII his family’s estate was severely damaged; the result of war, economic depression, phylloxera, and neglect. Determined to rebuild and grow his family's business, he began a comprehensive restoration project at the estate and vineyards. He spent the next few decades purchasing the best vineyards in Irpinia and greater Campania, where he dedicated plantings to three nearly extinct, ancient Campanian grape varietals: Fiano, Greco di Tufo, and Aglianico. Piero, Antonio's son, continues his family's passion for restoration and preservation. Piero has been at the helm of the winery since the mid-nineties and has spearheaded the prestigious research and planting project, Villa dei Misteri, aimed at reconstructing the ancient vineyard of Pompeii. Closer to home, Piero leads another research program, Stilèma. In tribute to his father, Stilèma’s mission is to capture and preserve the tension, grace and linear style of Irpinian wines. Piero is also a professor of Business Management at the University of Foggia in Campania, as well as an author on international management. Join us on May 20th at 6:30 for a tasting of these incredible wines hosted by Sean Mankowski, the territory manager for these wines and expert on them. I will also be bringing an older bottle of their Reserva from my cellar at home to share with all. Seating will be limited so please follow the link below to secure a spot.
