Sardinia & Campania MasterClass

Step into the soulful heart of Southern Italy for an immersive masterclass with Aurora Gurrado of importer, Ethica Wines exploring two of the country’s most captivating regions: Sardinia and Campania. 

Journey to Sardinia’s rugged northeast, where granite outcrops and Mediterranean winds shape the distinctive wines of Capichera in Gallura. Founded in the late 1970s, this family-run estate revolutionized Sardinian winemaking by pioneering the use of barrique aging for 100% Vermentino—elevating the grape to world-class status. Today, Capichera is synonymous with Vermentino, widely regarded by critics as the benchmark for the variety. Beyond Vermentino, Capichera has expanded its mastery to reds like Carignano and Syrah, crafting wines that are powerful, expressive, and unmistakably tied to the Gallura landscape.

From the volcanic soils of Irpinia, discover the legacy of Mastroberardino, a family whose story stretches back to the early 1700s. Often described as “grape whisperers,” ten generations have fiercely protected Campania’s indigenous varietals—Fiano, Greco, and the powerful, age-worthy Aglianico. From Angelo’s early exports in 1878 to today’s stewardship under Piero Mastroberardino, the estate continues to define Campania’s global identity. Their acclaimed Radici Taurasi Riserva stands as a benchmark for the region—and a testament to their enduring vision.

Southern Italian native Aurora Gurrado will guide you on a vibrant journey through wines made for effortless summer entertaining—each sip designed to transport you straight to these unforgettable, sun-soaked destinations.
