Fiano is the great Campanian white of very ancient origin: it produces Fiano di Avellino DOCG, a wine of great longevity, aromatic complexity and minerality.
Fiano is one of the oldest Italian white grapes, already grown in Roman times (Apicius cites it as "Apianum"). It is the basis of Fiano di Avellino DOCG in Irpinia (Campania), one of the rare Italian whites capable of ageing 10-15 years while retaining freshness.
Aromatic profile: toasted hazelnut, pear, acacia flowers, honey, minerality from volcanic soils. Sustained acidity, structured body. Synonyms: Apianum (historic, Latin), Foiano.
