Avellino, Campania, Italy
The 2019 Fiano di Avellino Ciro 906 takes its time to open in the glass, at first savory with hints of young peach and almond. Further coaxing brings a richness forward, coupled with notes of flowery undergrowth and gingery spice. It coasts across the palate with silken textures that are wonderfully contrasted by saline-mineral tones, as ripe orchard fruits settle upon the senses. The long and tension-filled finale buzzes with nervous energy, leaving hints of granny smith and zests of lemon to linger. The best is surely yet to come here; yet even today, the Ciro 906 is enjoyable on its intensity alone. (Eric Guido, Vinous, January 2022)

Lilia part 1: amazing Fiano from a producer of orange wine Ive had in past; part Burgundy (just a detailed wine?), citrus nose w almond bitters, multi layered, gorgeous mouthfeel w enough acidity for replenishing. A clear color belies its weight & seriousness.Went w grilled monkfish, trumpet mushrooms w balsamic arugula & hazelnut just fine

Sheer delight. Nose of cut white peach and ripening apricot, medium to full texture, sudden lift of salinity and a long finish that makes you come back for more. Dry and complex, everything a white should be. From the higher altitude vineyards of this producer and the premium bottling

My third time having this "906" bottling and I'm pretty sure I like the regular Fiano better. This has more muscle and structure while the Fiano always seems more refreshing and expressive to me.

Wine for scotch drinkers. Yellow fruits and flowers on the nose. Black volcanic basalt and flint on the palate. Crystalline and peety. An amazing wine.

tasted it at the office when it was super wound up and a little shocky. Today with dinner it's delicious, can't wait to drink it again in a year or five....
