Territory and wine style

This Fiano di Avellino DOCG comes from a vineyard located 550 meters above sea level, on clayey and semi-calcareous soils, with a north-east exposure. These conditions favor a slow and regular maturation, keeping the freshness of the fruit intact and the typical territorial imprint of the grape variety. Manual harvesting, slight over-ripening, and a long resting period before bottling contribute to a more mature and multifaceted profile, without sacrificing the recognizable tension of Fiano.

The texture is elegant, the progression is broad, and the finish is very persistent.
