2021 Fonzone Fiano di Avellino DOCG

100% Fiano, all estate grown in the village of San Potito Ultra in Paternopoli, where nearby volcano Mt. Vesuvius has deposited ash for eons. The grapes are hand-picked and carefully transported to the winery in small perforated crates, then they are selected and softly pressed. The fermentation is carried out at low temperature and lasts for about a month. The wine is aged in stainless steel for five months, with periodical batonnage (stirring of the lees). Straw yellow color with green hues, characterized by delicate floral and fruity aromas reminiscent of citrus, orange blossom, lime, almond paste. The taste is fresh and balanced, viscous and very persistent. This classic Fiano is both elegant and powerful at the same time- a perfect pairing for creamy chicken or pork pasta dishes, chicken and leek pies and pastries, and rich seafood soups and chowders.
