Notes: This vintage of Fiano di Avellino is characterized by a warm growing season that allowed for optimal ripeness while retaining freshness. The grapes are hand-harvested from vineyards in the Irpinia region, known for its volcanic soils, which contribute to the wine's complexity. After fermentation, the wine is aged for several months in stainless steel to preserve its fruit character and vibrant acidity.
