Description
The Fiano di Avellino takes its name from the variety that the Latins called Vitis Apiana. The grapes were so sweet that they proved irresistible to bees (“api”).
The wine, which was already highly appreciated in the Middle Ages, originated several millennia ago. An order for three salme (a measure) of Fiano is entered in the register of Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II. Charles d’Anjou must have enjoyed the wine as well, since he had 16,000 Fiano vines planted in the royal vineyards.
Color:
Light yellow with greenish hues.
Bouquet:
Fresh and minerally, slightly smoky with notes of lemon peel and pear.
Taste:
Medium body with a slightly creamy texture, excellent fruit. The long finish has a tuch of tropical and dried fruits, overlaying a mineral note.
