Fiano di Avellino
Wine · PDO · 26 municipalities
Recognised since 1982, the Fiano di Avellino DOCG encompasses 26 distinct municipalities in Campania, including Aiello del Sabato and Avellino. This appellation distinguishes itself from neighboring Campania white wines by requiring a minimum of 85% Fiano grapes, allowing the remaining portion to be blended with Greco, Coda di Volpe bianca, or Trebbiano toscano. Beyond still, straw-yellow wines, the denomination produces a complex Metodo Classico Spumante. This sparkling style must age for at least 18 months on its lees, a requirement that increases to 36 months for the Spumante Riserva tier to guarantee depth.
