Italy / Campania / Fiano di Avellino DOCG
White of Fiano
One 750ml bottle (12 bottles make a full case)"Fiano di Avellino is one of Italy's best white wines, made from the Fiano variety near the town of Avellino in the region of Campania. When young, Picariello's Fianos are lively, minerally and bracing, redolent of apple, white peach and hazelnut, with a strong flinty character (part of his vineyards are in volcanic soil). On the palate there is bright, green-apple acidity, and great complexity. Pair with all kinds of seafood dishes, or just roast chicken. I am certainly drinking the new release with food now, but you would not be making a mistake if you put a few bottles of the Avellino in the cellar. Fiano is one of Italy’s most age-worthy white wines, and this will go ten years very easily." -Oliver McCrum
