Description
What kind of wine it is
Piante a Lapio is a still white wine with an intense golden yellow colour, elegantly expressing the character of Fiano. The bouquet reveals delicate hints of broom, yellow rose and citrus, evolving towards tertiary notes of white pepper, bay leaf, camphor, honey and mint. On the palate, it is full-bodied, deep and well-balanced. It pairs beautifully with structured seafood dishes, such as monkfish in anchovy sauce, or with a selection of cheeses. To enhance its bouquet, it is recommended to decant for an hour and serve at a temperature of 12–14 °C.
Where it comes from
This Campanian white originates in Montefalcione, in Irpinia, a region that gives the grapes great aromatic definition and structural solidity. It is the result of the vision of Joaquin, a winery founded to enhance the region's historic grape varieties. The connection with the land of Irpinia is reflected in a precise style, designed to stand the test of time through bottle ageing. Its remarkable ageing potential ensures a longevity of 5-10 years, recognised with excellent scores even by international critics, such as the publication Vinous.
How it is produced
The production process is based on vinification aimed at respecting and enhancing the identity of the grape variety. The core of the cellar method consists of a long maturation in barrels, followed by careful ageing in glass to consolidate the organoleptic profile. This approach encourages the integration of fruity notes with balsamic nuances, ensuring a vibrant aromatic continuity. On the palate, the structure and depth of flavour are prioritised, leading to a final closure of great persistence.

The story began in 1999, when Raffaele Pagano decided to express his opinions on ancient grapes, starting to work on Fiano, Aglianico and Greco, the standard bearer of a territory, Irpinia, dedicated to the viticulture of excellence. Land, this, where the predominance of the thermal excursions, the volcanicity of the soil, the minerality, the peculiarity of the climate, favors high evolutions for white wines and where the cold of its hills generates reds of strength and extreme elegance. Uniqueness of a Wine, therefore, experience of a territory.
"From the beginning, we wanted to look for these grapes, their best expression, giving a meaning, a subjective interpretation to the word" VINIFICATION. "The thought is simple, it is direct, the idea is to produce unique pieces.
We produce, if there are the conditions of vintage, if mother nature allows us. To do this we have a "Bunker" ... the Cellar. A huge space, for the bottles to be produced, but useful for the refinements, so that the permanence of whites and reds, both in wood and in glass, is complete ... long ". Read more
