Deep in Campania’s Irpinia district, the white grape Fiano reaches its pinnacle in Fiano di Avellino DOCG. Grown on breezy ridges 400–700 m above sea level, Fiano ripens slowly, retaining racy acidity while gaining layers of lime zest, ripe stone fruit, herbs, and flint‑smoke. Volcanic tufo and limestone soils add salty drive, and the wines age gracefully, shifting from peach and honey to hazelnut and beeswax over a decade or more.
