Powerful Aglianico from Taurasi DOCG, sourced from vineyards at 600 meters elevation in Venticano. Clelia Romano established the estate in 1994, taking over her family's vineyards after four generations as viticulturists who had previously sold grapes to other producers. Vigna Andrea launched in 2000, following the same qualitative approach as the estate's acclaimed Fiano di Avellino. Calcareous clay soils with marl and sandstone; practicing organic viticulture using only copper and sulfur-based treatments.

"The 2020 Taurasi Andrea takes time to shake off its youthful state, as white smoke and stone dust blow off to reveal black currants and nuances of exotic spice. This races across the palate with sleek red and black fruits enhanced by vibrant acidity. Violet inner florals cascade throughout. The 2020 finishes perfumed and long, quite elegant, leaving sweet tannins to frame the experience without getting in the way of the 2020’s spry character. While balanced and structured for aging, there’s no harm in checking on this today." —Eric Guido

More about Colli di Lapio di Romano Clelia

For many Italian wine lovers, Clelia Romano's Fiano is the benchmark: a textbook example of what this ancient Campanian grape can do when it's grown high in the hills of Irpinia and left to speak for itself.

The Romano family grew grapes near the village of Lapio, northeast of Avellino, for generations, selling them to others, before Clelia began bottling her own wine in 1994. Her daughter Carmela now works alongside her. The vineyards sit at roughly 500 meters on highly calcareous clay, where big swings between warm days and cold nights keep the wines fresh and taut. Farming is certified organic, with cover crops between the rows and only copper and sulfur in the vineyard, and very little sulfur is added in the cellar.

The classic Fiano di Avellino is made entirely in stainless steel, with several months on its lees, and it is all about stone, citrus and salinity. Alongside it you'll find a Greco di Tufo, “Alexandros,” the wood-aged Fiano “Clelia,” and two Aglianico-based reds: the Irpinia “Campi Taurasini” and the Taurasi “Vigna Andrea.” Small production, big reputation, and a great place to start with southern Italian whites.
