Introduction:
The 2022 Quintodecimo Fiano di Avellino "Exultet" is an elegant and complex white wine from Campania, Italy. This Fiano showcases the varietal’s characteristic richness and aromatic depth, beautifully balanced with freshness and minerality.
Terrior:
Sourced from high-altitude vineyards in Lapio, a prime area for Fiano di Avellino. The volcanic soils, combined with a continental climate and significant diurnal temperature variation, contribute to the wine’s vibrant acidity and layered complexity.
Appearance:
Pale straw yellow with golden highlights, showcasing its youthful brightness.
Nose:
Aromatic and refined, with notes of white flowers, ripe pear, citrus zest, honey, and a touch of hazelnut, along with subtle smoky mineral undertones.
Palate:
Medium to full-bodied with a creamy texture. Flavors of green apple, lemon curd, and tropical fruit are interwoven with hints of almond and a distinctive saline minerality. The well-integrated acidity gives the wine precision and length.
Finish:
Long and elegant, leaving lingering impressions of citrus, honey, and flinty minerality.
Overall Impression:
A beautifully crafted Fiano di Avellino that balances richness with freshness. This wine is already expressive but will gain further complexity with bottle age, developing deeper nutty and smoky characteristics.
