In 1996, Mastroberardino was selected by the Italian government to lead the ambitious Villa dei Misteri (or Villa of Mysteries) project, with the goal to recreate the wines of the ancient city of Pompeii using the same grape varieties and viticultural techniques of the period. Working with the Archaeological Superintendent of Pompeii, they has administered DNA testing and unearthed frescoes and architectural sites to piece together this ancient winemaking region. Mastroberardino has replanted vineyards using the same grapes and techniques used by the Ancient Romans.
