Fiano

Very precise, clear and aromatic, the Fiano Bagnara has notes of peach, apple and orange. Balanced and generous on the palate, paired with an elegance and subtle minerality. Forget the Puglia of the 1990s, here comes the new generation that delights! SUPERIORE.DE

Genius Loci is a fresh, refined, terroir-typical Fiano del Sannio. Smells spicy of sage and meadow flowers, complex on the palate with fine fruit and good length. SUPERIORE.DE

Expressive bouquet with notes of yellow fruits and hazelnut, then aromas of exotic fruits and honey. Wonderfully persistent and elegant on the palate. SUPERIORE.DE

Pale straw yellow colour, floral and fruity notes in the elegant, slightly mineral bouquet. The bouquet will develop with maturity, aromas reminiscent of sultanas and honey. On the palate, it is pleasantly dry and smooth, well structured, harmonious and full-bodied with persistent nuances of ripe peaches and pears. SUPERIORE.DE

Impressive aromatic Fiano with the scent of white peaches, the taut, slightly mineral flavour and the full-bodied aftertaste. SUPERIORE.DE

A wonderful white from the southern Italian grape variety Fiano and the international variety Chenin Blanc. The delicate and persistent bouquet is reminiscent of roasted hazelnuts and pears. On the palate, fruity citrus notes, well structured and harmonious until the long finish. SUPERIORE.DE

Bright straw yellow with green shimmer. Exotic aromas of pear, tropical fruits, balsamic nuances and light flowers. Generous wine with beautiful depth, in the final an interesting almond note. SUPERIORE.DE

Particularly high-quality Fiano di Avellino from Campania with light stone fruit, nuts and honey in the fragrance. On the palate, its fruity nature, aromatic herbal notes and clean structure and minerality make it enormously animating. SUPERIORE.DE

Mastroberardino makes a special effort to cultivate the ancient grape variety Fiano. It was already cultivated by the Romans, who called it Vitis apiana because of its special attraction to bees (apis). It produces a wine - straw yellow and wonderfully aromatic with a spicy honey and nut bouquet. The characteristic taste is very harmonious. SUPERIORE.DE

Opulent, savoury fruit, plus sage, ginger and thyme. Very soft and rich on the palate, fresh and agile as it progresses, finally reaching its persistent and mineral final. A terroir growth full of character and complexity. SUPERIORE.DE

Beautiful cuvée of Greco and Fiano. On the nose, an opulent potpourri of passion fruit, peach and honeydew melon. Not too heavy on the palate, but rather prancingly elegant with a wonderfully fresh structure. Complex and full-bodied finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Enticing fruit-cocktail nose with a lemony twist, as well as some honey and meadow flowers. Medium-bodied with intense, super clean fruit flavors and a delicious finish. So well balanced." James Suckling

Campanaro from Fiano and Greco glows in a warm, sunny yellow hue. The bouquet reveals a variety of scents, ripe pear, candied orange peel and fig, followed by honey and hawthorn. The palate presents its rich and round texture as well as a fine pleasant acidity. The underlying mineral content gives the wine fresh highlights and leads to a balanced, wonderful finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"A dense white with layers of fruit, showing cooked apples, pears and hints of almonds. It's full and flavorful with a crushed-stone undertone to the creamy-textured fruit. Needs a little time to open." James Suckling

"A blend of equal parts Fiano and Greco packaged in a softly frosted bottle, the Feudi di San Gregorio 2018 Irpinia Campanaro does a great job of presenting varietal and territorial typicity, also offering a smooth and contemporary personality at the same time. There is enough structure and fruity fiber to contemplate a more sophisticated food pairing such as pasta with black squid ink." Robert Parker

A hearty, spicy Fiano di Avellino that impresses with its fruitiness and aromas of sausage, bacon and smoke. Complex on the palate of tropical fruits, candy and minerals, full-bodied long. SUPERIORE.DE

Magnificent, single-varietal Fiano and the white star from Planeta - almost a legend. Complex scent of blossoms and yellow fruits. On the palate, this white wine is as refined as it is powerful. With lots of fruit, soft and very long, it spreads out. A fantastic drop! SUPERIORE.DE

"The Stilèma project was born as a testimony of Antonio Mastroberardino's love for his land, his vines and his wines, for their original character." Piero Mastroberardino

The project aims to highlight the link between the vines, the wines and their territorial origins. In this way, the Mastroberardino family wants to recreate the style of winemaking of the autochthonous grape varieties of Irpinia (Greco, Fiano and Aglianico) that took place between the end of the 1950s and the beginning of the 1970s of the twentieth century for the Taurasi and between the years 1970 and 1980 for the two white wines from Irpinia. It is the unmistakable style (the stilèma) of a family that has interpreted the natural heritage of its territory over generations and today impressively highlights the true character of the terroir, which by no means can be expressed by high concentration and intensity alone.

Pale straw yellow with light green reflections. The 24 months of yeast ageing of this exceptional Fiano create a fascinating balance and complexity of the aroma profile with classic hints of flint, fine saltiness, the scent of fresh almonds, cedar wood and wild herbs. The taste is lively with a pronounced mineral note, accompanied by an inspiring freshness that gives it great drinkability and finesse. The precise and very long finish is also extremely convincing. SUPERIORE.DE

"Needs a bit of air to bring out the mix of dried-herb and jaffa-cake aromas, which persist on the medium palate, growing in intensity towards the finish, thanks to the addition of bright citrus and mineral tinges." James Suckling

"The 2017 Fiano di Avellino Stilema opens slowly, unwinding with dusty dried flowers, crushed oyster shells and incense giving way to young peaches and hints of exotic spice. This soothes with silken textures and ripe stone fruits, as tension builds through a mix of saline-minerals and lemon oils toward the close, all under an enriching air of crushed hazelnut. A salty flourish and sour citrus linger through the lightly structured finale, as the 2017 Fiano Stilema tapers off with impressive length. As gorgeous as this is today, it will only get better through short-term cellaring. The Fiano Stilema is basically a selection of a selection from Mastroberardino’s best vineyards which, in 2017, only amounted to a total of 3000 bottles in order to maintain the level of quality that the estate expects. The result is one of the most seductive expressions of the varietal that I’ve encountered." Vinous

Bright yellow with greenish reflections. Fascinatingly fresh bouquet of white smoke, minerals and peach with a hint of lime. On the palate, the true class and intensity of this Fiano is revealed: Unmatched by many colleagues, a silky philharmonic concert of green apple, lime, yellow flowers and exotic fruits opens up here. Always at the forefront is the fresh acidity, mineral notes and a purity that effortlessly elevates the wine to an exceptional position that is very hard to find in southern Italy. A downright masterful Fiano that can hardly be surpassed in naturalness and class. SUPERIORE.DE

"Very intense on the nose and palate, showing white peaches and savory herbs, such as thyme. Medium-bodied with good drive, persistent fruit and impressive focus at the finish, but it's all relatively short-lived. Very good and perfectly presentable." James Suckling

Only in the best years does Sabino Loffredo vinify a tiny portion of his best Fiano grapes from the Cru site in Toppole Montefredane as a single-site white wine. The result is called Cupo, is virtually hand-picked and can hardly be surpassed in purity and minerality. Slender and racy in the glass, it reveals an overwhelming freshness, notes of grapefruit and a subtle saltiness that is otherwise only found in the neighbour Quintodecimo or in the whites from Etna. A real class of its own and we are delighted to have been allowed a small allocation! SUPERIORE.DE

"Talented Sabino Loffredo's wines are identified by a sleek mineral tanginess. This 2018 vintage of his selection 'Cupo' from Montefredane is intense and smoky with Mirabelle plum and an iodine character. The palate is dominated by a Mojito-like flavour of lime and mint, with stone fruit in depth. It displays great refinement of phenolics, with a tight-knit structure and lifted acidity through to the finish. One of the greatest Fiano I have tasted in 2021." Decanter
