Description

The Fiano di Avellino grape takes its name from the variety that the Latins called Vitis Apiana. The grapes were so sweet that they proved irresistible to bees (‘api’). At the I Favati winery the Fiano grapes are macerated on the lees and fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the fruit flavour and freshness. The I Favati Fiano di Avellino Pietramara is fresh and minerally, slightly smoky with notes of lemon peel and pear. The palate is medium bodied with excellent fruit concentration and a long finish that carries a note of grilled pineapple and dried fruits.
