Campania's perfumed, ageworthy white
Fiano
One of southern Italy's finest whites — honeyed, nutty, and mineral, with a rare capacity to age.
The Grape
Fiano is a prestigious white grape of Campania, best known through Fiano di Avellino. It gives medium- to full-bodied whites of real complexity — pear, honey, hazelnut, and a smoky mineral note — that gain richness and waxy depth with bottle age.
History & Origins
An ancient variety once nearly lost, Fiano was revived in the late 20th century by Campanian producers who recognised its quality and ageing potential, earning DOCG recognition for Fiano di Avellino.
