Fiano di Avellino

White

Named after Roberto di Meo's eldest daughter, Alessandra is made with slightly over-ripe grapes macerated on their skins and matured for 18 months in stainless steel. This 2012 - the latest vintage release of this impressive, ageworthy bottling - features a rich nose of salty almonds, ripe apricot, peach skin and forest mulch. Intensely salty and mineral, it carries a savoury truffle character and smoky, nutty notes on a peach skin-textured palate. It has balance and length in equal measure, with a persistent saline finish and a lick of juicy peach.
