A beguiling sparkling wine from a star producer in the province of Avellino. The man himself, Ciro Picariello, started the winery in 1997 and farms at high elevations to bring much needed acid to the normally flabby Fiano grape.
This champagne method wine is made from 100% Fiano, hand harvested from the Avellino province. The individual vintages are not bended together. The base wine ferments in stainless steel, while the secondary fermentation takes place in the bottle. This takes place over 24 months on the lees before disgorgement, with no dosage added at bottling.
This incredibly unique sparkler has notes of sorrento lemon, oregano, sea salt and creme fraiche. Have with a cheese and salumi plate, a fruits de mer, or with your next toast!
