Both sites sit in soils of sandy clay marls and conglomerates of upper sandstones. Harvest takes place in late October, unusually late for a white wine, driven by the continental climate of Irpinia and the strong diurnal temperature swings that slow ripening and preserve acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the cellar, Picariello presses slowly using only the free-run fraction. Fermentation proceeds with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel at controlled temperature for approximately 60 days. The wine then ages on its fine lees in stainless steel for 10 to 12 months with frequent batonnage, followed by additional bottle aging before release. No fining, no filtration, and minimal sulfur additions throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2016 shows the hallmarks of Picariello's style: white flowers, flint, and yellow stone fruit on the nose, with a palate shaped by bright, saline acidity and textural phenolic weight. With bottle age, Fiano from this producer develops beeswax and honeyed notes reminiscent of aged Loire Chenin Blanc, and the 2016 vintage is well into that secondary evolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFiano di Avellino DOCG requires a minimum of 85% Fiano. Picariello's wine is 100% Fiano, estate-grown, and farmed organically across his 12 hectares in the Avellino province.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ciro Picariello","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":12310598975543,"sku":"CIROFIDA16C","price":35.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0019\/3363\/9735\/files\/fiano-di-avellino-ciro-picariello-campania-italy-white-wine_46b57b62-e5a8-430a-912b-1abaf4b644f1.jpg?v=1780672239","url":"https:\/\/primalwine.com\/products\/fiano-di-avellino-ciro-picariello-campania-italy-white-wine","provider":"Primal Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
