2019 Ciro Picariello "Ciro 906" Fiano di Avellino
All wines stored at 55° and 70% humidity
This parcel has their oldest vines, the first planted by Ciro back in 1990. This wine is not produced every year, only in colder vintages with more acidity. It stays 12 months on the lees in steel followed by 18 months in the bottle before release.
Picariello’s Fiano di Avellino is a wonderful, textured, phenolic white wine that is bursting with an underlying minerality imparted by the volcanic soils of the region. The wine drinks well on release, but can also age beautifully, 10-15 years easily. In fact, in good vintages, Ciro holds back some bottles to release at a later date.
