Pietracupa 2015 Fiano di Avellino 750ml

Fiano di Avellino is the predominant expression of Fiano, another high quality white wine grape indigenous to Italy. Its nose is fragrant with aromas of white stone fruit, lemon, and thyme including a distinctive mineral touch. The palate is crisp, long, and intense, ending in a saline finish, making it ideal for seafood pasta, shellfish, and even fish soup.

Sabino Loffredo is one of the most talented and successful winemakers in southern Italy. Because he had to give up his career as a sportsman after an accident, the talented wine taster moved to the Pietracupa family estate in Montefredane at the turn of the millennium, which was still managed by his father Peppino, where he steadily expanded his project and led the business to great heights in just a few years. Thanks to his craftsmanship and his great determination, Sabino has succeeded in producing wines in a personal and unmistakable style that are highly appreciated far beyond Campania. Today, the owner of the estate, who works with great seriousness and rather quietly, is not only regarded as one of the most successful newcomers and one of the best producers of fragrant mineral white wines, but also as a much sought-after producer of spicy-elegant red wines. The vineyards of Pietracupa reach heights of up to 800 metres. The soils are loamy and calcareous. Thanks to good south-eastern locations, the vines benefit from a microclimate with sufficiently high temperature fluctuations, which allows the grapes to ripen very well.
