Mastroberardino, Radici, Fiano di Avellino, Campania, 2011

Flint and white flowers on the nose and in the mouth; dried pears and hazelnuts on the finish: very nice.

Showcasing the ageing potential of Fiano di Avellino, this 2011 is sublime. Fragrant with stone fruits, ash, straw and earth, it combines super-fresh acidity with a lovely volcanic, mineral character. Saline, fresh and long, this demonstrates impressive staying power and elegance. Just 993 bottles produced.
