Paladino Fiano di Avellino DOCG Riserva 2022 - Colli di Castelfranci

The Paladino Fiano di Avellino DOCG Riserva 2022 is an excellent example of the wine production of the Colli di Castelfranci, located in the heart of Alta Irpinia. This reserve white wine is obtained from late-harvested Fiano grapes, grown in the lush vineyards of the municipality of Castelfranci, in the province of Avellino. The result is an austere wine, full of youthful energy and with remarkable longevity potential.

Wine Characteristics

Paladino has a pale straw yellow color, reflecting the purity of the Fiano grapes from which it is produced. On the nose, it exudes a pleasant and complex aroma of white flowers, enriched with hints of toasted hazelnut, cooked apple and fennel leaf. On the palate, the wine offers an inviting, dry and harmonious flavour, with a persistence and elegance that make every sip an unforgettable experience.

Winemaking Process

After careful selection, the Fiano grapes are vinified in white and fermented at low temperature, partly in steel and partly in small wood. At the end of the alcoholic fermentation, the wine is left to mature on the lees for a few months, during which bâtonnage is carried out every three weeks. This refinement process, which lasts nine months, allows the wine to develop a unique aromatic complexity and a refined structure. Finally, the Paladin is bottled to complete its evolution.
