📜 Fiano di Avellino
One of southern Italy's finest whites, from Fiano in the hills of Irpinia.
Fiano di Avellino is a white wine of southern Italy from the Fiano grape. It is made in the hills of Irpinia, in the Campania region, around the town of Avellino. The wine is a protected designation of origin (PDO) and holds the top category in Italy.
Fiano is an old variety that has grown in these parts for many centuries. The wine is usually dry and aromatic, with shades of pear, nuts, flowers and honey. With the years it becomes more complex and gains nutty and smoky notes. The hilly area gives the berries good acidity and freshness.
It is one of the best white wines of southern Italy, a match for northern ones. It keeps well for several years, which is unusual for many whites. It is served with fish, seafood, pasta and soft cheeses. Fiano di Avellino shows that the south of the country also makes wines with character and age.
