Fiano di Avellino Clos d’Haut Riserva 2024 Villa Diamante

Fiano di Avellino Clos d’Haut Riserva 2024 by Villa Diamante is a white wine of great personality, born in a selected plot in Montefredane, in Irpinia, and designed to interpret Fiano in an intense, deep, and refined key. It is a reserve that combines substance, elegance, and a strong territorial identity, with a style capable of standing out for aromatic complexity and long persistence in the glass.

Territory and wine style

The area of Montefredane, in the province of Avellino, offers an ideal context for a characterful Fiano di Avellino. The vineyard is located at about 530 meters above sea level, in a closed environment surrounded by mountains, with a northeast exposure and volcanic soils with a clayey component. These conditions help define a white wine with an authentic profile, fresh and savory, but also rich in depth. Manual harvesting and vinification in steel with long contact on the lees help preserve purity, tension, and aromatic definition, enhancing the more expressive side of the grape variety.

Tasting notes

In the glass, the wine presents itself with an intense straw yellow, enriched by golden reflections. The bouquet is rich and articulated: notes of yellow flowers, ripe yellow fruit, delicate spices, and a marked smoky imprint emerge, with hints of toasted nuts. On the palate, it shows a dry, warm, and smooth sip, but supported by very well-integrated freshness and savoriness. The structure is significant, the balance is convincing, and the finish is long, mineral, and persistent, with a gustatory energy that invites another sip.

Recommended pairings

Fiano di Avellino Clos d’Haut Riserva 2024 pairs very effectively with structured seafood dishes, shellfish, pasta with seafood, baked fish, and preparations with aromatic herbs. Its savoriness also makes it suitable for white meats, medium-aged cheeses, and rich but balanced Mediterranean cuisine. It is also an ideal wine for dishes with a slight smoky note or with flavorful ingredients, as its aromatic complexity supports intense flavors without losing finesse.

Serving temperature

To best appreciate this wine, the ideal serving temperature is 12-14°C. A brief rest in the glass can help open up the aromas, especially if the wine is served young. A decanter is not necessary, but some oxygenation can be useful to enhance its aromatic richness and mineral component.
