Structured, aromatic dry whites with a pale golden colour, an ample palate and preserved acidity, showing signature aromas of white flowers (acacia, honeysuckle), yellow fruits (pear, peach), honey, hazelnut, almond and volcanic mineral notes. Fine ageing and cellaring potential. The absolute star of Fiano di Avellino DOCG in Campania, one of Italy's great whites. Indigenous Italian variety from Campania, one of the oldest in the south (Roman era).
Major qualitative renewal. Sunny, expressive reds: fleshy, spicy Nero d'Avola (black cherry, blackberry, liquorice), fine, mineral Nerello Mascalese on Etna (recalls Pinot Noir), light, crisp Frappato in Cerasuolo di Vittoria DOCG. Lively, saline whites: Catarratto, fat, iodised Grillo, taut Carricante, floral Inzolia. Amber, walnutty fortified Marsala.
