2022 Pietracupa, Fiano di Avellino Bianco

Founded in 1993, the Pietracupa estate operates in the mountainous Avellino province of Campania, where winemaker Sabino Loffredo farms small parcels to highlight regional highland identity. Cultivated across steep slopes and mineral-rich volcanic soils, the vines yield this appellation-controlled white made from Fiano. In the glass, the wine displays mouth-coating viscosity, a bracing citrus finish, and aromatic layers of green apple and flint. The 2022 growing season captures this climate's sharp contrast between warm daytime sun and cool nights, resulting in a structured frame defined by vibrant acidity and strong mineral tension. This bottle offers remarkable immediate depth and represents exceptional value for anyone looking to explore southern Italy's most serious white variety.
