'Irpinia' Fiano 2024

Ciro Picariello’s 2024 Irpinia Fiano captures everything that makes this producer one of Campania’s most revered. From organically farmed, high-altitude vineyards in the Irpinia hills, this wine reflects the cool climate and volcanic-limestone soils that define the region. Fermented and aged on lees in stainless steel, it’s a vivid expression of Fiano—lemongrass, white peach and wild herbs layered over chalky minerality and a fine, driving acidity. Textural and saline, it balances freshness with quiet depth, promising even greater complexity over time. Ciro’s wines are built to age, but this vintage is already brimming with energy and precision—a stunning southern Italian white for lovers of mineral-driven wines.
