@@haron B I was able to find the producer but not the exact white wine per your recommendation! Grapefruit, lemon, honeysuckle, great acidity, great for a deck sipper! — 4 years ago

Dark garnet purple with near black core. Abundant nose and full-bodied palate yield juicy (medium plus) acidity) blueberry ,and blackberry cobbler. Medium firm, supple tannins in the mix making for a classic Italian food wine. Enjoy with beef dishes, game, or a high end pizza Margherita. Drink now through 2027. — 5 years ago

Donnachiara – Fiano di Avellino “Empatia” 2022
Campania, Italy 🇮🇹 – DOCG

Overview
Empatia translates to empathy in Italian — a name chosen to reflect Donnachiara’s philosophy of making a wine that connects deeply with both terroir and drinker. As an elevated expression of Fiano, it’s crafted from select vineyards and offers more body and aromatic depth than their classic bottling. A modern take on one of Campania’s most historic grapes.

Aromas & Flavors
Elegant layers of honeysuckle, pear, and golden apple with hints of hazelnut, chamomile, and a touch of honeyed citrus. The nose feels expansive yet refined, showing the grape’s full complexity.

Mouthfeel
Rich yet fresh, with a medium-plus body and lively acidity. The texture is slightly waxy, adding depth, while the finish is long and mineral-driven with subtle almond notes.

Food Pairing
Perfect with seafood risotto, grilled swordfish, aged cheeses, or herb-infused chicken. Also shines with Mediterranean vegetarian dishes like eggplant parmigiana or zucchini blossoms.

Verdict
A thoughtful, elegant Fiano that embodies its name — Empatia. It bridges heritage and modern precision, connecting emotion with flavor in every sip. Beautiful now, but capable of rewarding cellaring for another 3–5 years. Cheers! — 6 months ago

100% Aglianico. I’ve never had this grape from Italy. I’ve had a very nice white from this producer so this is my first red. It’s delicious. Medium body, dark fruit, a little smoky. — 4 years ago

Food Pairings
Pairs beautifully with seafood risotto, grilled swordfish, shrimp scampi, or herb-roasted chicken. Also excellent with semi-aged cheeses.

A finely crafted Greco di Tufo Riserva — citrusy, tropical, and mineral-laced. The 2022 vintage is vibrant yet balanced, showing why this DOCG stands among Italy’s elite whites. 🍋🍐cheers!
