Fiano di Avellino

Flinty mineral with hints at tropical fruits but lacking the acidity card?

2011 vintage. Such a beautiful nose...such a let down on the palate...

More evolved. Amazing with all sorts of Chinese pork dishes we're sharing.

Too much alcohol on this '15. Otherwise quite quaffable.

Musky, wooly, smoky, & rubbery aromas w various fruit flavored herbal lozenges
Yellow plum, white peach, candied orange, & lemon oil still popping w acidity but gets broad & rich w apricot jam, hazelnut & almond and a smoky peaty finish

Really nice Italian old style wine

Volcanic and a bit smokey all mineral driven and savory with a nice amount of acidity. Volcanic wine.

Always solid, never extraordinary. Happy to enjoy this little classic for an island price of 12 euro :-)

Had one last Fiano after returning home from Campania. Seashells, jasmin, lime, white pepper, green olives. The finish is slightly bitter with a livley acidity. Fresh.
