Filadoro Fiano di Avellino DOCG 2022

This Fiano di Avellino from the small Lapio Filadoro winery in Campania leads with aromas of pear, ripe melon and orange. The palate brings floral ripe melon and stone fruit to the fore, with more savory flavors of almond, hazelnut, grass and cheese providing balance and an attractive ripe fruit finish. Medium-bodied, rich and enjoyable.

The connection between Filadoro and agriculture is ancient. Although many of the current vineyards were planted by Giuseppa Filadoro and Pietrantonio Lepore in the early 1990s, they never abandoned agriculture and the production of their beloved Fiano, supplying the grapes to major producers but always retaining a portion for the family's own wine production.

In 2008, their sons Walter and Vittorio embarked on a project to enhance these family grapes, bringing their parents' dream to life and interpreting the Irpinia winemaking tradition in a modern way. This led to the creation of Filadoro Winery, which produces 20,000 bottles from company vineyards, divided into four labels: Fiano di Avellino DOCG, Greco di Tufo DOCG, Irpinia Aglianico DOC, and Taurasi DOCG.
