What is this wine?
Laura De Vito is a rising star in Fiano di Avellino DOCG, producing wines from high-elevation, volcanic vineyards in Lapio, one of the appellation’s most prized crus. She farms organically and bottles several single-vineyard Fiani, each reflecting a distinct terroir. Arianie comes from a site with chalky-clay soils that emphasize structure and depth, highlighting the serious, age-worthy side of Fiano.
Why get this wine?
De Vito’s Fiani are now considered among the benchmark expressions of this noble southern Italian white. The Arianie bottling combines richness and minerality, showing the power and longevity that Fiano can achieve in the right hands. For collectors of Italian whites or anyone looking for a wine that can rival top Burgundy or Rhône whites in complexity, this is an insider’s gem.
What does this wine taste like?
Concentrated and layered, with ripe pear, citrus, and stone fruit accented by almond, herbs, and smoky volcanic minerality. Textured and full but lifted by vibrant acidity, finishing long and saline.
When should you drink this wine?
Pair now with seafood risotto, grilled octopus, or roast pork, or cellar for 5–10 years to watch it evolve into a honeyed, nutty, complex white. A short decant is recommended in youth.
