Ciro Picariello has quickly become one of the star producers of Fiano di Avellino, and many people consider him to be the reference point producer of Fiano in Italy. Ciro and his wife started their winery back in 1997, but their first vintage under their own label was not until 2004. Picariello's Fiano Irpinia is a declassified version of Fiano di Avellino from estate-bottled fruit, made from younger vines in Summonte and Montefredane. Even though it's from Ciro's younger vines, it easily competes with many of the top Fianos on the market. Lively, minerally and bracing, with aromas and flavors of citrus and herbs. Very long on the palate with bright, green-apple acidity, great complexity, and a strong flinty, smokey character imparted by Ciro's rich volcanic soils. An amazing example of Fiano that delivers so much character and complexity at this price point! Distributor Notes
