Exultet is an elegant and refined interpretation of Fiano di Avellino, a Cru produced exclusively with grapes from a single vineyard of Fiano located in Lapio. After a long pressing of the whole bunches, the draining must protected by oxygen is separated from the pressing must and clarified by natural sedimentation. Its particular elegance comes from the short stay, during fermentation, in small oak barrels for 30% and follows a steel aging on the lees for 8 months. The name of the wine comes from the Exultet of Mirabella Eclano, or the liturgical scrolls of the southern Middle Ages. The glass has a bright yellow color, with green reflections and clear varietal aromas of lime, acacia and thyme. The palate has a dense structure and continues to develop aromas of exotic fruit, candied citrus and honey in a very light mineral matrix. Good freshness on the finish, Exultet is excellent in combination with fresh cheeses or pasta dishes based on fish and shellfish. To fully appreciate the style, this Fiano di Avellino must be served at a service temperature of 10/12 ºC.
