Description
What kind of wine it is
Mastroberardino's Fiano di Avellino is a still white wine from Campania, made from Fiano grapes. It stands out for its bright straw-yellow hue and a distinct aromatic profile, characterised by notes of fresh fruit, citrus, white flowers and aromatic herbs, enriched by delicate hints of almond, hazelnut and dried flowers. On the palate, it is full-bodied, enveloping, and crossed by elegant floral nuances. This wine boasts a remarkable capacity for long ageing and is perfect for accompanying soups, shellfish, white meats, fish such as tuna and salmon, and fresh cheeses like buffalo mozzarella, with an ideal serving temperature between 12 and 14 degrees Celsius.
Where it comes from
The Fiano di Avellino designation is deeply linked to the Irpinia region, in the heart of Campania. The vineyards are located on south-east facing soils, at an average altitude of 400 metres above sea level, where the microclimate encourages gradual ripening while preserving the finesse of the aromas. The medium-textured and loose soils ensure optimal drainage, giving the grapes an ideal balance between structure and freshness. Known since ancient times as Vitis Apiana, Fiano was at risk of extinction in the last century, but was safeguarded and enhanced in the Avellino area thanks to the crucial contribution of Mastroberardino.
How it is produced
Production begins in the first ten days of October with the manual harvesting of the bunches, to ensure the selection of fruit at ideal ripeness. This is followed by white vinification in steel tanks, with fermentation lasting about twenty days at a controlled temperature. This technique preserves the aromatic integrity of the Fiano grape. Finally, the wine completes its journey with several months of bottle ageing before being released, offering a tasting experience characterised by great precision and expressive consistency.
History and Curiosities
Known since Roman times as Vitis Apiana due to its sweet berries loved by bees, this ancient grape variety nearly became extinct in the 1960s. Thanks to the perseverance of Antonio Mastroberardino, it was reintroduced in Irpinia, giving rise to an elegant Fiano di Avellino DOCG. The result of over two centuries of family dedication, this white wine with its extraordinary aptitude for long ageing combines tradition and passion. Every glass celebrates the viticultural heritage of Irpinia.
