Fiano is a white grape variety found all over the South of Italy. Its most famous expression grows around the town of Avellino in the Irpinia hills of Campania. where it is solely responsible for the DOCG wine Fiano di Avellino.
“The 2013 Fiano di Avellino showed excitable white peach on the nose followed up by floral fragrance and the distinct impression of hazelnuts. The palate confirmed this with intense layers of stone fruit, in particular apricot and peach, all weaved together in a refreshing citrus tang. Lots of mineral complexity imparted a wonderful freshness to a wine that finished balanced and with the promise of further toasted nuts and brioche.”
