Le Masciare

Le Masciare www.lemasciare.com Respect for its surroundings and a limited production of high-quality products. That's what characterizes Le Masciare Estate.

Since our foundation we have been amply rewarded for our approach, having won many awards from Slow Food, Gambero Rosso, Extra Bio and others, as well as having a strong presence in the most representative wine guides. We make a range of exceptional wines, from our 'house red' Barbassano , and 'house white' Coda di Volpe (to come out in the spring of 2014), to our Campi Taurasini DOC, made from a

selection of powerful Aglianico grapes, as well as all three DOCG wines of the south of Italy; Fiano di Avellino, Greco di Tufo (both white) and our 'Riserva' red wine Taurasi, which has at least three years of maturation of which two in oak. Furthermore, we produce two types of organic extra-virgin olive oils; Ravece and Marinese, which rank among the best in the country. Each year, the harvest is carried out with consummate expertise and love, under the careful supervision and hands of the founders of the olive-oil and wine estate. In the last couple of years Le Masciare has been growing strongly, without ever losing sight of the quality of its products. If you are active in the wine business, and are interested in high-quality wines from Southern Italy with an excellent price-quality ratio, please do not hesitate to contact us! The Le Masciare olive-oil and wine estate is located in the surrounding hills of Paternopoli, a small town in the heart of Irpinia (in the central region of Campania). This is a land with a profound calling to the creation of quality oils and wines, and place where the regions only three DOCG wines are grown. Irpinia's unique, indigenous grape and olive varieties make up all of Le Masciare's land.

Coda di Volpe is one of the oldest grapes of Campania — for generations here in Irpinia it was mostly used to round out blends, rarely bottled on its own. We do it differently: we let it stand alone, exactly as it grows on our hills above our winery.

It's not a showy wine. What you get is real freshness from the altitude, a rustic edge, and fruit that stays in the background rather than jumping out of the glass.

For all our wines, every vintage tastes a little different, and that's the point. We're not chasing the exact same flavour and aroma each year, we're bottling what mother nature gave us in that particular year. Cooler years bring more elegance and freshness, hotter ones a rounder, fuller wine.

The vineyard where these grapes grow is just a few hundred meters from our agriturismo. If you are staying with us, ask about a tasting in the winery.

Our Coda di Volpe: a capsule of time and place, in a glass.

There's a risk in making your own wine: over time you start drinking it as its maker instead of as a critic, and you slowly lose the ability to judge it honestly. In Italian we'd call it becoming auto-referenziale — only ever referring to your own work.
At Le Masciare we try to guard against this in a couple of ways.
Once or twice a year we run a blind tasting in the cellar. We line up 10–15 bottles of the same wine and the same vintage — say, Greco di Tufo 2024 — from different producers, slip our own bottle in among them, and taste without knowing which is which. We look at quality, at style, at how faithfully each wine speaks of its terroir. It is a great, useful way to keep perspective.
The other thing we do is visit wineries we admire. A few years ago that was Château Cheval Blanc. This year the two of us went to Bordeaux for three of them: Château Margaux, Château Lafite Rothschild and Château Mouton Rothschild. We tasted close to forty wines across current and older vintages, talked at length with the people who make them, and took in some of the history behind each estate.
What stays with you after days like these is how much there still is to learn, and how willing even the most celebrated houses are to keep questioning their own work. Our own thinking about wine shifts a little every time.
Hereby a few impressions from the. Cin cin!

Most of what we make is finished the moment it's done. Wine isn't — it keeps living and changing in the bottle for years.

For centuries people have turned grapes, sun and patience into something genuinely alive — always evolving, always alive. Ours is no exception: part craft, part instinct, part simply letting the Aglianico, Fiano and Greco do their thing.

Come see the behind-the-scenes magic for yourself. We'd love to show you around over a tasting — and for the full experience, wake up right in the middle of it at Agriturismo Le Masciare.

There's something quietly regenerative about mornings among old olive groves and Irpinia vineyards.

Most of what we make is finished the moment it's done. Wine isn't — it keeps living and changing in the bottle for years.

For centuries people have turned grapes, sun and patience into something genuinely alive — always changing, never quite finished. Ours is no exception: part craft, part instinct, part simply letting the Aglianico, Fiano and Greco do their thing.
