Exultet – the Latin imperative that has resounded in the churches of Campania for centuries: "Rejoice!" This name encapsulates the entire philosophy of Luigi Moio, who, as one of Italy's most renowned Oenologist, has recognised that great wines require not only technical perfection, but above all a soul that inspires jubilation. When the professor transforms his science into poetry, Exultet is the most shining example of this alchemy. In the volcanic hills of Mirabella Eclano, where the Via Appia once led Roman legions through the heart of Irpinia, the Fiano grape thrives on soils that owe their formation to the eruptions of Vesuvius. This ancient connection between fire and earth shapes every drop of this extraordinary white wine.

The vines, planted at an altitude of over 500 metres, benefit from dramatic temperature fluctuations: whilst the days are bathed in the intense southern Italian sun, the cool nights bring out the crystalline acidity that makes Exultet one of Italy's most elegant Fianos. Moio's winemaking process combines state-of-the-art technology with a deep respect for tradition. The grapes are harvested in the early hours of the morning to preserve their natural freshness, gently pressed and fermented at controlled temperatures. Part of the must matures sur lie in French barriques, where it develops the subtle complexity that sets Exultet apart from ordinary Fiano wines. This combination of stainless steel and wood creates a perfect balance between the varietal clarity typical of the grape and structural depth.

Exultet is a radiant straw-yellow wine with golden highlights that shimmer like the first light of dawn over the hills of Campania. On the nose, white blossoms of acacia and broom blend with notes of ripe pears and peaches, whilst mineral nuances reveal its volcanic origins. A hint of honey and toasted almonds hints at the sur lie ageing. On the palate, the full elegance of this exceptional Fiano unfolds: a lively, almost electrifying acidity carries aromas of citrus and white fruits, whilst a subtle minerality lends the wine structure and length. The final is impressively persistent – a lingering aftertaste of fruit and flowers that keeps the memory of this extraordinary wine alive long after the last sip. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2025 Exultet is pleasantly rich with seductive scents of Asian pears, white peach, nuances of raw almond and wet stone. It displays amazing balance through its ripe pit fruits, saline minerality and pretty inner florals. A pop of acidity maintains freshness through the remarkably long finish, as a hint of lemon oil fades." Vinous
