Fiano di Avellino DOCG Eugenia 2022 - Cantina Sella delle Spine

Fiano di Avellino

The Fiano di Avellino "Eugenia" from Sella delle Spine is a tribute to the elegance of Irpinia, a refined white wine made from Fiano grapes grown on clay-limestone soils. The vines, trained using the Guyot system, ensure optimal grape ripening. Fermentation at controlled temperatures in stainless steel preserves the varietal’s aromatic essence, while bottle aging enhances complexity and harmony. Its brilliant straw yellow color, with greenish reflections, heralds an intriguing bouquet: hazelnut, apricot, and subtle hints of tropical fruit blend into an olfactory symphony, with pear notes emerging over time. On the palate, it stands out for its softness and delicacy, offering a dry and enveloping sip that impresses with perfect balance and long persistence. Ideal with fish dishes, seafood, or as an aperitif, this Fiano is perfect for convivial gatherings or elegant dinners, where each glass tells the story of its noble terroir.
