Notes of apple and citrus on the nose with a hint of honeysuckle. The same fruit is echoed on the palate with mineral notes on the finish. Perfect as an aperitif or paired with seafood and light summer fare.
The grapes are harvested from vineyards located in the Capaccio-Paestum area of Campania in the province of Salerno in the middle of the Cilento National Park. The grapes are softly crushed and fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. The wine ages for eight months in tank before bottling.

The 2021 Fiano is pretty with crisp green apple, mint and crushed stone aromas. This is softly textured, soothing with its ripe orchard fruits as a salty flourish evolves toward the close. The 2021 finishes dry and with medium length. Savory herb tones gradually fade.
