Fiano Di Avellino DOCG

Fiano Grape Characteristics and Taste Profile

This appellation stands out due to its unique volcanic soils, which impart a deep and highly distinct mineral character to the wine. In its youth, Fiano Di Avellino is dominated by fresh aromas of hazelnuts, white flowers, pears, and honey. Thanks to its naturally high acidity, it feels incredibly vibrant on the palate. As it ages, it tends to evolve beautifully, developing more texture along with notes of beeswax and toasted almonds.

Gastronomic Pairings for Your Table

• Poultry and Fish: An ideal partner for chicken breast in a creamy sauce or baked sea fish.
• Cheeses: Flawlessly complements fresh buffalo mozzarella (Mozzarella di Bufala) and other soft cheeses.
