  Straw yellow. Complex nose: chalk and smokey peat, some almond paste, then ripe apple and lemon. Palate: fresh fruit mixed with dusty smokiness. Very food friendly.

  Fiano is one of Italy's greatest white wine grape varietals, and this Pietracupa version is a classic. Intensely acidic, vivid lemon/lime fruit, superb concentration, and richly textured. Highly enjoyable young and even better aged.

  10/24/2017 - gilrbo Likes this wine:

  Straw yellow, with golden hues, clear.
  Reductive at first, then clearly on the mineral side, with anise, a bit of pear. Precise and elegant.
  On the palate it seems light at first, almost without weight on the midpalate, which is intensely mineral and has a nice acidity, which is what gives the sensation of lightness, because the wine does have body.. It holds well the matching with tasty food like risotto with porcini mushrooms or carbonara. Lovely.

  Ein sehr duftiger und mineralischer Fiano di Avellino 2015 der AZ V Pietracupa von Peppino Lofredo in Campania. Visuell noch sehr jugendlich, leicht ins Grünliche gehend und mit reichlich Feinpartikeleinlage. Die Nase zeigt viel gelbe Birne, Zitrone, mediterane Kräuter (auch milder Wermuth und etwas getrockneter Basilikum), irgend eine Milchspeise die mir spontan nicht einfällt und ein Hauch unreife Mirabellen. Am Gaumen zwar ganz leicht cremig, sonst aber sehr direkt, herb und ernst. Aromen ähnlich wie in der Nase. Vielleicht noch etwas ernster. Seine strenge/intensive - positiv gemeint - mineralische Charakteristik gefällt mir sehr gut! Wirklich gute Länge und schöne Frische zeigt er ebenfalls. Absolut keiner dieser nicht so selten etwas eingeschlafen wirkenden Fiano Weine. Passt bestimmt super zu Schalentieren!
