is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
What is this wine?
From her organically farmed vineyards in Lapio, Campania, Laura De Vito produces some of the most precise and terroir-driven expressions of Fiano di Avellino DOCG. Li Sauruni is another of her single-vineyard bottlings, grown on volcanic soils at high elevation. Each site highlights a different facet of Fiano, and Li Sauruni tends to emphasize purity and lift.
Why get this wine?
De Vito has quickly earned a reputation as one of the most exciting producers of Fiano, a grape increasingly recognized as one of Italy’s great whites. Li Sauruni shows the grape’s elegance and mineral edge, making it a fantastic introduction to her lineup and an alternative to richer, oakier whites elsewhere in Italy or France. It’s a bottle that combines authenticity, value, and cellar potential.
What does this wine taste like?
Bright and focused, with citrus, green apple, and wild herbs, layered over flinty, smoky volcanic minerality. Medium-bodied, vibrant, and saline, finishing with crisp precision.
When should you drink this wine?
Ideal now with grilled fish, fresh cheeses, or vegetable pastas, but it can age 5–7 years, developing more nutty, honeyed notes. A short decant will enhance its aromatics.
