Fiano di Avellino is a DOCG, Italy’s superior wine classification, in Campania. It is based on the ancient Fiano grape, a name which is a derivation from the Latin Vitis Apiana, for the allure of its juice to bees (apis is Latin for bee). Documents show that Fiano is named in the register of 12th century Holy Roman Emperor Charles II. And in the 13th century, Charles d’Anjou had a reported 16,000 Fiano vines planted in his vineyard.

Fiano exists in other parts of Campania, often as a blending component. But it is in Avellino, in the heart of Irpinia, where the varietal truly shines. The climate moderation from the nearby Appenine Mountains and the rich, volcanic and chalky soils in which it grows allow it to flourish.

Terredora di Paolo Falanghina Campania IGT 2010

Snoothrank:

$14 . Richly aromatic, with warm orchard fruit and slightly tropical citrus aromas accented by a nice sweet floral note. Moderately rich on entry, this shows fine tension between the fine base of sweet citrus fruit and sharper floral and mineral notes, gaining a hint of smoke and a touch of bitterness on the back end.

Seemed to me a lot like (unfortified) dry sherry. Both as to color and flavor.Same goes for it at room temperature and chilled. Is it possible that I somehow got an inferior bottle? Read More

Feudi di San Gregorio Fiano Fiano di Avellino 2008

Snoothrank:

Seemed to me a lot like (unfortified) dry sherry. Both as to color and flavor. (I may write more later, because my single exposure so far is a glass at room temperature. Cooling might pump my rating up by one. Takes a while because my ration is one alcoholic drink per day. Cholesterol, you know.) Read More
