At 8 years old, a good example of how Italian white wines can age well. Half Greco and half Fiano. Bought this at a modest price. Combines refreshing acidity, a pleasing texture, and lemon citrus fruit. While enjoyably drinkable, does not reach the complexity and concentration of the great ones.

What a treasure chest Italy is of local white wines with little or no international market but are delicious, rich, and distinctive. This 8 year old white wine is 50% Fiano and 50% Greco, has a perfectly tight and supple cork, and is delightful from looks to swallow. Translucent yellow with zero brown or oxidation. Inviting aromas of flowers and fruits. Vivacious and refreshing acidity. Complex, concentrated, and caressing.

Oxidized, but still drinkable. There are indications that this was once a flavorful white wine with a tropical fruit character and perfumed nose. All 4 bottles from WTSO showing signs of oxidation.

Ma première expérience en Campanaro; bouteille atypique. Il manque de l'acidité. Belle amertume en bouche.

Slightly oxidized, but still enjoyable. Expressive nose for a white wine. Pineapple, honey and tropical fruits, with a pleasantly oily texture.
