Vintage Details

2019 in Campania was a balanced year, characterized by a rainy winter and a mild spring that ensured optimal water reserves. The summer, not excessively hot, allowed for gradual ripening of the grapes, ensuring a perfect balance between acidity and aromas in the wine. The result is a harmonious and well-structured Fiano, capable of fully expressing the varietal notes of the grape.
