About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The Fiano comes from the Lapio vineyard, where the surviving vines are 80–100 years old and predate the phylloxera outbreak. Their bunches have concentrated flavour and aroma.

Vinification

The wine undergoes a long fermentation stated to last more than 60 years.

Ageing

It matures in previously used chestnut barrels.

Tasting profile

The aroma is remarkably complex and layered. The palate is very full, deep and intriguing.

Serving and pairing

Decant for 30–60 minutes before serving.

Label / history

The wine originated from Joaquin’s aim to revive traditional Campanian wines using old farming methods.
