Information about Fiano

Grape colour White grape
Aromas Neutral
Vigour Good
Ripening End of September, beginning of October.
Productivity Regular (60-80 ha). It is subject to watering, if it rains in June, at the time of flowering. Grapes are well preserved on the plant.
Areas of cultivation Very common in the province of Avellino and the Murge in Puglia.
History The variety has been grown in southern Italy for hundreds of years, and many researchers have suggested that this is one of Pliny the Elder's viti apiane (although this is now widely contested). The first mention of Fiano comes in the 13th Century, and just prior to the phylloxera crisis of the late 19th Century, the grape was widely planted in Campania. Following phylloxera's devastating effects, the grape was almost forgotten until the 1970s and 1980s, when it was rediscovered first by local producers and then by consumers. Now, wines made from Fiano are very much in vogue, and are found on wine lists around the world.

Characteristics of the wine obtained from this grape variety Fiano's wine, with intense straw color, develops excellent toasted hazelnut scents, white fruit like pear and sweet spices to finish the olfactory note. Even on the palate it is structured, aromatic and persistent, expressing a very positive, complex and remarkable overall judgment at international level.
Notes This wine deserves important combinations such as crustaceans, seafood, or large fish paste in the bell-like tradition such as the tasty spaghetti on the rock. Also good with soft cheeses and white meats.
