Ciro Picariello Fiano di Avellino 2023
Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate has called Ciro Picariello Fiano “a clear protagonist among the great white wines of Campania.” That’s about as special of a compliment as you can get. This is an incredible wine pulled from the rocky volcanic soils of Campania at nearly 2000 feet elevation. From crushed stone to lemeon sorbet to the complex minerality that you get here – you can tell that this is a layered white with a lot going on and so much to offer. Grab a glass and a seat, and take your time with this one!

94 Points, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
The Ciro Picariello 2019 Fiano di Avellino Ciro 906 is a clear protagonist among the great white wines of Campania. Fruit comes from a one-hectare plot registered as “particella 906,” with vines planted in 1990 on rocky volcanic soils at 650 meters in elevation. Only 3,000 bottles emerge from this site. The wine stands apart for its texture, with firm fruit and a pretty, glossy quality. The bouquet is layered with lemon essence, saffron, green apple and crushed stone. You can count on this bottle to continue its evolution and to grow in complexity.
“Ciro is, in my opinion, the greatest producer of Fiano in Avellino – and therefore, the greatest producer of Fiano in the world” – Joe Campanle, “Vino: The Essential Guide to Real Italian Wine”
The quote above is not to be taken lightly, because Joe is probably right. I mean this is totally, totally knock-out Fiano that’s on a different level than most of its peers. Ciro Picariello is a special producer in Southern Italy that is raising the bar for the entire region.
Of course, the CP wines are a big hit with the NYC Michelin set, and with good reason. This a super classy bottle of wine. We’re talking high altitude, careful winemaking, and volcanic rich soils that produce some of the most structured, mineral laden, and age worthy whites we offer.
