Benchmark Fiano from one of Campania's reference producers. Ciro Picariello and his wife farm seven hectares high in the hills of Irpinia, split between the villages of Montefredane and Summonte at 1,600 to 2,100 feet, and that altitude is the secret to their electric, mineral whites. This is their estate Fiano di Avellino DOCG, fermented and aged on the lees in steel (no oak), built to drink well young but to age remarkably well too, ten to fifteen years easily. A white with real grip and a sense of place, for not a lot of money.

"The 2024 Fiano di Avellino slowly reveals a complex bouquet of crushed rocks, grapefruit zest, ginger and white peach. The soothingly round palate delivers mineral-infused orchard fruits, a sensation of liquid stone and a jolt of vibrant acidity. The finish tapers off with dramatic length, nearly salty with vivid notes of nectarine. This thrill-ride of a Fiano will have a lot of fans." —Eric Guido

"The stunning 2024 Ciro Picariello Fiano di Avellino has intense aromas of smoke, summer orchard fruit and nutmeg. Linear with a creamy texture and impressive depth, the delicious, elegant palate delivers ripe yellow pear, lemon drop and a dollop of vanilla before closing on a mentholated note. Thanks to grapes selected primarily from the estate’s Summonte vineyard that reaches up to 720m above sea level that imparts great acidity and from the firm’s Montefredane site, this is one of the freshest Fianos out there. Drink or hold for even more complexity." —Kerin O'Keefe

More about Ciro Picariello

What are the great Italian whites? There are many promising categories. But an important one that is getting much attention these days is the traditional white grapes of Campania, including Fiano and Greco.

One of our favorite producers of these wines is Ciro Picariello. It's a domaine that specializes in white wines made from high-altitude vines, all native to Campania, grown in volcanic soils. Because of the high altitudes—up to 2,100 feet above sea level—it takes a long time for the grapes to get ripe, and they develop wonderful depth while preserving their natural acidities. With very minimal work in the cellar (natural fermentation, minimal sulfur), the pure essence of these grape varieties and their volcanic terroirs shines through in bottle.

How good are these wines? Very good! With fruit, minerality, verve, and that special sense of terroir, you can compare them without shame to the great whites of Burgundy, the Loire, or the Mosel.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Grilled fish, shellfish, roast chicken, or pasta with clams. The minerality also loves fried seafood and aged sheep's-milk cheese.

Tasting Profile

Medium-bodied and dry, with citrus, green apple, white pear and a smoky, stony minerality. Bright acidity and a long, savory finish.
