REFIANO
- Fiano di Avellino
D.o.c.g
Fiano
di Avellino
is produced from the homonymous grape and derives from the Latin word
apis meaning bees that attracted by the sweetness of the grapes. The
South of Italy, called “Magna Graecia”, was the
cradle of our
civilization and the land where the Greeks cultivated the vines that
produced the wines that were served at their banquets. On the territory
of Avellino, the wine, called Fiano, was produced for the kings of
Ancient Greece consumption.

Avellino.
Production area: vineyards
located in the hilly area of the Fiano di Avellino D.O.C.G.

Vinification:
grapes are hand-picked and undergo a rigorous selection in the cellar.

for a further 2 months.
