Thursday, November 17, 2016 - Fiano di Avellino. It is perhaps the richest and most full-bodied of Campania’s white grapes. Ripe peaches, tar, ash, game, leather, earthiness, menthol and licorice are just some of the nuances that can be found in Fiano di Avellino. Some of the best producers of Fiano (in all of its appellations in Campania) include Colli di Lapio, Fattoria La Rivolta, Feudi di San Gregorio, Mastroberardino, Quintodecimo and Terredora. To tell the truth, I struggled to pick just one white grape from Campania. An equally compelling case can be made for the perfumed, floral Falanghinas and the mineral-driven Greco di Tufos. Suffice it to say, Campania is one the most fascinating regions in Italy for both whites and reds.
