Fiano, Pietracupa - 2019

Item # 24135 750mL

This is a Fiano di Avellino however Sabrino Loffredo got tired of the politics within the appellation (DOCG) system and has chosen to downgrade his wine in order to continue as he sees fit outside of the bureaucracy. Pietracupa's wines are a benchmark for winemaking when it comes to the native grapes of Campania.

Staff Pick Notes

Campanian white wine seems to have become quite hip over the last couple years. There’s no shortage of critical acclaim, either-- in a recent podcast, a panel of Master Sommeliers waxed lyrical about Fiano as one of the three most ageworthy white wines of Italy.

Intensely smoky, with almost chewy phenolics and ripping acidity, it was as if posh Premier Cru Chablis had ended up on the wrong side of the tracks and done some hard time. The 2012 is starting to hint at this greatness and will get even better. Awesome stuff.
