Vine variety and production area

The Pendino Fiano di Avellino is obtained exclusively from Fiano grapes, an indigenous vine from Campania. The production area is located in Lapio, in the province of Avellino, characterized by medium-textured and sandy soil, with south-west exposure. The vineyards, aged between 15 and 20 years, are cultivated according to the Guyot cultivation system, with a planting density of 3500 vines per hectare and a yield of 70 quintals per hectare.

Winification and Refinement

The grapes are harvested by hand in the first ten days of October, in small 15 kg boxes, to guarantee the integrity of the bunch. This is followed by a long pressing of the undestemmed bunches. The must ferments at low temperatures for a month, keeping the varietal aromas intact. After fermentation, the wine is subjected to a 4-month élevage sur lies, during which bâtonnage is carried out every two weeks in steel containers. Finally, the wine ages in the bottle for a month, thus achieving the perfect balance between freshness and complexity.
