2022 Mastroberardino Fiano di Avellino DOCG

100% Fiano

An almost forgotten varietal in the ancient region of Irpinia, Fiano, originally known as apiana, earned its name due to its sweet berries being a magnet for bees. Traditionally grown near hazelnut orchards, the grape’s flavor profile seems to bear the influence of its surroundings. However, it is in the town of Avellino that Fiano truly shines, producing wines that are mineral-driven with a remarkable aging potential.

In a straw-yellow hue, this wine is elegantly crafted, offering subtle hints of fresh fruit, almond, hazelnut, citrus fruits, herbs, and a touch of minerality. On the palate, it presents a full-bodied experience, delicately weaving together light fruit and floral notes. It’s a testament to the rich heritage and distinctive character of Fiano, showcasing the true potential of this ancient varietal from Irpinia.
