Fiano di Avellino DOCG Radici by Mastroberardino is one of the most representative white wines of Campania and southern Italy. Produced in the Avellino area, in the heart of Irpinia, this wine is an emblem of Campania's wine identity. The Avellino territory is characterized by a temperate climate, with cold winters and hot but breezy summers, and predominantly clay and limestone soils, ideal for vine cultivation. The vineyards extend over hills ranging from 350 to 600 meters above sea level, an altitude that contributes to the wine's particular freshness and acidity. Fiano di Avellino DOCG Radici is made exclusively from Fiano grapes, an indigenous variety of Campania. This grape is known for its resilience and ability to adapt to different soil types while always maintaining a high quality level. The production process of Fiano di Avellino DOCG Radici begins with the harvest, which usually takes place in mid-October. The grapes are hand-picked and carefully selected, then gently pressed. The resulting must is fermented at a controlled temperature in stainless steel, where it remains for several months in contact with its own yeasts. The wine is aged in the bottle, where Fiano di Avellino DOCG Radici remains for at least three months before being marketed. This period of rest in the bottle allows the wine to further develop its aromatic complexity and achieve a perfect balance between acidity and sapidity.
