Colli di Lapio: confirmation with the Fiano 2014
In the past we have tasted several expressions of Fiano d'Avellino, one of the finest wines of Campania and the country as a whole. It is often produced by small rural estates such as the Azienda vitivinicola Colli di Lapio, run by Clelia Romano. Pro...
Fiano di Avellino Campore 2011, signed by Terredora
Walking through the pavilions of Vinitaly, we couldn't help but stop at the stand of Terredora di Paolo Mastroberardino, an Irpinian winery that I was lucky enough to visit almost two years ago in Serra di Montefusco. We then tasted the new vintages of the Falanghina, the Lacryma Christi, the Greco, the Fiano before moving on to the Aglianico, the Taurasi and the latest addition, the red passito...

Ciro Picariello: the other face of Fiano
I first encountered Picariello's Fiano in 2005 when I was approached at the wine shop where I worked in Mentana (Rome) by a woman who told me about Ciro. She was (and still is) the sister of Picariello's wife, and she wanted me to try a case of six bottles of this Fiano I had never heard of...
