A stunning Italian dry wine! Laden with ripe yellow pear, hazelnuts and savoury mineral notes, the dry palate is charged with some nice tangy acidity. Rounded, polished & delicious. In the glass, straw yellow with greenish reflections, the nose is immediately reached by a fragrance that is austere and gentle at the same time. Aromas of mint, sage and white peach appear, which are subtly accompanied by sensations of white chocolate and citrus fruits. With time, a distinct mineral component emerges. The palate is fine, not too voluminous, but full and satisfying. A nice acidity enhances the freshness of the Fiano di Avellino from Campania. The finish is very tasty with a return of dense floral and menthol notes.

100% Fiano. Fiano is a very old autochthonous white grape variety of southern Italy. It is mainly distributed in the Italian region of Campania. Fiano was already cultivated by the Romans, who called them Vitis apiana because of their great attraction to bees (Latin apis, Italian ape). It produces aromatic, spicy white wines with a spicy honey and nut bouquet, which are long storable.
