The Campanian winery received an excellent award for one of its wines.
Bibenda 2021 The guide to the best wines awarded one of the wines of the Villa Raiano winery: 5 grappoli for Fiano di Avellino Docg 2018.
White wine produced only with Fiano grapes coming from 4 different vineyards located in 4 different towns of the province of Avellino. The grapes are harvested by hand and carried to the cellar in small boxes to avoid crushing them. The grapes are subjected to gentle crushing of whole bunches to get the free-run juice. Wine making and ageing on fine lees lasts 4 months and takes entirely place in stainless steel tanks.
The nose is gentle and pleasant, with initial hints of white peach and citrus followed by flavors of sage, mint and white chocolate. The taste is satisfying and harmonious, fresh and consistent with the nose, persistent and pleasantly savory at the end.
