91
Vinous
Review Date: 09/2025Minty herbs combine with crushed stone and nuances of exotic spice as the 2023 Fiano di Avellino Pietramara blossoms in the glass. It is soothingly round, displaying a pretty inner sweetness balanced by juicy acidity and a core of tart orchard fruits. Hints of raw almond mix with candied citrus as the 2023 shows a sweet and sour character through the long and mouth-watering finale. (EG)

Notes
The 2023 "Pietramara" is a sophisticated and weighty expression of Fiano, reflecting the high-altitude (420m) clay soils of the Pietramara vineyard in Atripalda. The nose is complex and highly aromatic, offering a mix of lemon peel, white peach, and quince layered with distinctive notes of pine nuts, aromatic herbs, and a subtle smokiness. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a soft, creamy mid-palate—a result of extended aging on the fine sediment—perfectly balanced by a vibrant acidity and a persistent saline vein. The finish is long and evolving, marked by flavors of grilled pineapple and dried fruits. A benchmark Fiano that combines the variety's historic "honeyed" richness with a contemporary, mineral-driven precision.
