Fiano
Fiano is a white grape variety grown mainly in southern Italy in the regions of Campania, Sicily, Basilicata, Molise, Apulia. A diffusion that has Campania as its epicenter and that sees it migrate to Apulia and Basilicata well before the testimonies dating back to the nineteenth century. On the origin of the name Fiano it has been hypothesized a kinship with a population of the Apuans who, subjugated by the Romans in the second century BC, was forced to move to Sannio. Hence, the distribution of the Apuan vine, ancestor of Fiano in the Campania areas. With small clusters and able to guarantee low yields, Fiano produces excellent results when grown on volcanic soils, especially being able to enjoy excellent temperature ranges suitable for developing a great aromatic potential. With maturation between September and October, the Fiano is mostly aged in steel with partial maceration in contact with the skins or permanence in contact with the yeasts to ensure a soft and enveloping taste. The typical notes of Fiano range from white flowers such as acacia and wisteria, to white pulp fruits such as peach, pear, yellow melon, with slight herbaceous hints and pleasant acidity. It is an enveloping and soft wine, with a rich and complex finish, with a long persistence. Among the most important expressions appear in the appellations Fiano di Avellino DOCG, Cilento DOC and Sannio DOC.
Why buy Fiano
Buying Fiano certainly means taking a step back in time and seeing how local customs and traditions have been able to spread successfully to the point of being perfectly integrated into other climatic and cultural contexts. An excellent starting point when you decide to buy Fiano is clearly the Fiano d'Avellino with which you can get to know all the richness of Irpinia: with at least 85% of Fiano grapes it can even be accompanied by the mention 'Apianum' which recalls the ancient origin of the name.
Is there a Fiano red wine?
Fiano is a white grape variety and it is for this reason that the wines obtained can only be white wines, contrary to what happens with red grape varieties whose grapes can also be vinified in white.
