Marchese di Borgosole – Fiano – 2024
Puglia IGT – Puglia – Italy 🇮🇹

Overview
A fresh and approachable expression of Fiano from Puglia, showcasing the grape in a lighter, more casual style compared to its often more structured Campanian counterparts. This version leans into drinkability and immediate appeal, delivering vibrant fruit and clean balance while maintaining varietal character.

Aromas & Flavors
Juicy stone fruit, ripe pear, and citrus lead the profile, followed by hints of tropical notes and delicate floral tones. A subtle nutty and herbal edge adds dimension without overpowering the fruit-forward nature.

Mouthfeel
Light- to medium-bodied with refreshing acidity and a smooth, easygoing texture. Clean, lively, and pleasantly rounded, finishing with a crisp and satisfying lift.

Food Pairings
Grilled seafood, light pasta, fresh salads, antipasti, or soft cheeses. Also works beautifully as a standalone sipper.

Verdict
A charming, fruit-driven Fiano that prioritizes accessibility and enjoyment. Not built for depth or aging, but absolutely delivers on freshness and immediate pleasure.

Did You Know?
Fiano originates from Campania, where it often shows more structure and aging potential. In southern regions like Puglia, it tends to express a more open, fruit-forward, and easy-drinking personality.

🍷 Personal Pick
A “pleasant surprise” bottle that overdelivers in the casual category, juicy, clean, and dangerously easy to keep pouring. — 11 days ago

Pale lemon in colour. From Campania arguably the home of Fiano not forgetting it is also grown in Sicily. Restrained aromas of pear, honeysuckle and apple. Those descriptors coming through on the medium bodied palate finishing dry with stacks of salinity. Refreshing and moreish. — 6 months ago

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. — 8 months ago

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 — 3 months ago
