Joaquin’s Fiano di Avellino Vitis Apianus Riserva Vino della Stella is produced from selected vineyards situated in the finest areas of Irpinia, on complex volcanic and limestone soils that lend the wine depth and longevity. The Fiano grapes are harvested by hand at full ripeness and vinified according to an artisanal philosophy that respects natural processes. Fermentation takes place in traditional vessels, followed by a long ageing on the fine lees, which enriches the wine with structure, complexity and the potential to evolve. The long maturation, complemented by further ageing in the bottle, makes this Riserva an intense and contemplative expression of Fiano di Avellino.
Visually, it presents an intense golden-yellow colour. On the nose, it is deep and complex, with aromas of ripe fruit, pear and quince, accompanied by notes of candied citrus, honey, hazelnut, aromatic herbs and pronounced mineral undertones. On the palate, it is rich and enveloping, with a substantial structure supported by vibrant freshness and a marked savouriness. The finish is very long and persistent, with elegant mineral and toasted notes.
A wine of great personality and depth, ideal for special occasions and dedicated tastings. It pairs well with substantial fish dishes, premium shellfish, white meats, mature cheeses and complex culinary creations. Also excellent as a meditation wine.
To fully appreciate its style, this wine should be served at a temperature of 12–14°C.
