Winemaker Notes:
Made from Fiano grapes grown in our Campore di Lapio vineyard, one of the most vocational winegrowing areas - so much so that it could well have been the “the Land of a King". Thanks to the microclimate and volcanic soils, this historic vine has found its spiritual domain here, its homeland since ancient times. Richness and minerality for an almost archaeological style in the great tradition of Fiano di Avellino, even for a white wine uncorked after many years.
Grape Variety: 100% Fiano.
Production area: selected plots from family-owned vineyards in Campore di Lapio.
Winemaking: the grapes are harvested at the end of October. Fermentation takes place in French oak barrels for at least 6 months and then the wine ages in the bottle for no less than 24 months prior to release for sale.
Tasting Notes: straw yellow color with golden reflections; broad and elegant bouquet with aromas of ripe pears and citrus fruit, as well as fine hints of honey, acacia flowers and vanilla. Rich, elegant and mineral on the palate with an extraordinary aromatic persistence. This wine has an incredible potential for aging and continues to develop its complexity for many years.
Food Pairings: risotto, fish tartar, seafood and elaborate fish dishes, white meat.
Ratings & Reviews:
93 Points - James Suckling (2016):
"Lots of blanched almonds, red apples and a touch of beeswax. It’s medium-bodied with a waxy texture and crisp acidity. More almonds and citrus pith on the palate lead to a long, focused finish. Hints of smoke and vanilla underneath it all." (Nov 2020)
