2024 Ciro Picariello '906' Fiano di Avellino

The 2024 Ciro Picariello "906" Fiano di Avellino is a monumental, chiseled masterpiece that represents the absolute qualitative summit of Irpinia. Named after the specific, high-altitude plot (650 meters above sea level) in Summonte, where the vines grapple with a punishing, mineral-rich matrix of clay, volcanic ash, and fractured limestone, this single-vineyard bottling is built for the long haul. Ciro and his family treat this fruit with uncompromising purism: a slow, cold pressing, spontaneous fermentation in stainless steel, and a massive 12+ months on the fine lees before bottling without fining or filtration, avoiding any modern oak makeup to let raw terroir take center stage.
