Go ahead, taste it blind and try not to call it young stainless steel champagne. Once you’re aware, then you start noticing the mineral reality and slightly saline quality. Great work — 15 days ago

Sweet on the first sip; very little smoke but a bit there; creamy but not lactic; in the mouth more biased towards the veggie/synthetic flavors which you only get excellent Mezcal. Love — 2 years ago

Fiano di Avellino

9.0

The 2022 vintage Fiano di Avellino from Ciropicariello starts with a rich straw-almost golden color to the eyes and unfolds in time on the nose with abundant floral notes and hints of honey. With a chance to breathe the palate evolves into a surprisingly mouth-coating viscosity that’s held together by its mineral driven heart. It’s a fuller-bodied example of the grape than what I’ve come across before and it earns it. — 6 months ago
