Drinking Window: 2021 - 2027
With a portion fermented in 25hL French oak tonneaux then aged for six months followed by several months in bottle, this is a richer, more complex expression compared to the estate's basic Fiano di Avellino. A smoky nose with flinty stone fruit and citrus touches is followed by a richly textured palate with vanilla and spice hints from the oak, while restrained yellow and stone fruits accompany a core of apple. It's a bit softer but still fresh and minerally; a better pick for food versus drinking on its own.
