Colli di Lapio Fiano di Avellino 2006
Other Grape, Italy
The cool, windblown slopes of Campania's bleak mountains host some of the most spectacular vineyards in Italy, planted to varietals that have been cultivated since the time of the ancient Greeks.
The estate of Clelia Romano is from vineyards around the Lapio village, northeast of Avellino, the grand cru growing area for the white varietal Fiano. This wine, vinified entirely in stainless steel, is pure class and elegance, with peach and melon aromatics and a vibrant acidity that gives it the potential to evolve over a decade into a golden-hued and mineral-ly wine that echoes the qualities of grand cru Chablis.
