Ciro Picariello Fiano di Avellino 2023

Ciro Picariello has quickly become one of the star producers of Fiano di Avellino. He and his wife started their winery back in 1997, but their first vintage under their label was not until 2004. Their 12 hectares of vineyards are located at a relatively high elevation in the province of Campania, divided between the villages of Montefredane (1,600 feet above sea level) and Summonte (2,100 feet). At these elevations, they're able to harvest Fiano with incredible phenolic presence, without compromising tension and nuance.  

We know the term "Burgundian" gets tossed around quite a bit, but if you can imagine the texture + tension of a Chablis, that the key here, with the same detail as the best of them.  We dig, mucho.
