Ciro Picariello

Fiano di Avellino 2024

Producer Ciro Picariello crafts this 100 % Fiano from high‑altitude vineyards in Summonte (650 m) and Montefredane (500 m) in Irpinia, Campania, planted on volcanic clay‐loam soils. The 2024 vintage (12.5% ABV) is fermented and aged in stainless steel for ten months with frequent bâtonnage. In the glass it shines straw‑yellow with green‑gold reflections, while the nose evokes white flowers, flint, fresh herbs, and citrus peel. The palate is bright and sapid, defined by green apple acidity, a steely mineral backbone, and a long, precise finish—elegant, age‑worthy yet approachable early
