Joaquin Fiano di Avellino Vino della Stella Riserva 2022 Wine (75cl)

The description below comes from the retailer. Bottle details and price comparisons are listed above.

This comes from a 0.9-ha. parcel of Fiano between 20-30 years of age planted in the volcanic clay-limestone soils of Lapio, a commune in the far eastern reaches of the Fiano di Avellino appellation considered not only the variety's spiritual home but its greatest terroir. Lapio's cool microclimate, high altitude, and huge diurnal temperature shifts allow for Fiano of exceptional precision and complexity, and Joaquin's combines those traits with a magnificently concentrated palate which swells dramatically on the finish. The wine spends 8 months on its fine lees in steel and fiberglass without temperature control, and it undergoes an additional stint in bottle before release-a purposeful delay which allows the variety's youthful floral aromatics to subside a bit while its signature note of toast begins to emerge. The 2022 Fiano di Avellino Riserva Vino della Stella wafts up with an almondy richness that gives way to freshly sliced Asian pear, hints of pine resin and subtle vanilla bean. Fresh acidity propels ripe pit fruits and green melon tones across the seamless palate. It finishes long and fresh.
