TASTING NOTES
The Fiano di Avellino DOCG Li Sauruni 2022 by Laura De Vito is a high-quality white wine, produced exclusively from Fiano grapes in the Sauroni area of Lapio, in the province of Avellino. This region is renowned for its unique climatic and morphological conditions, which impart a full-bodied structure and mineral richness to the wine. The 2022 vintage was characterized by favorable weather, allowing optimal grape maturation. The wine was produced with a mid-October harvest and underwent nine months of maturation in steel, followed by fifteen to twenty months of bottle aging. The Lapio area, where Laura De Vito's winery is located, is well-suited for producing Fiano di Avellino DOCG. The mixed clay soil and an altitude of about 600 meters contribute to the wine's unique personality, with mineral notes and citrus freshness. The Fiano grape variety is known for producing wines with an intense and complex aromatic profile, including notes of tropical fruit, flowers, and nuts. Fiano di Avellino DOCG is particularly appreciated for its full structure and freshness, making it ideal for pairing with fish and white meat dishes. Visually, the Fiano di Avellino Li Sauruni 2022 presents a bright straw yellow color with greenish highlights. On the nose, it offers an olfactory spectrum featuring sensations of lime, bergamot, mallow, fresh hazelnut, hawthorn, freesia, basil, mentuccia, and mineral hints. In the mouth, the wine is well-tensed, fresh, with good sapidity support and a delicate mineral finish. The structure is in fine balance with softness, freshness, and minerality, and the closure is inviting and long, with smoky notes. Fiano di Avellino pairs perfectly with dishes like baked sea bass, grilled tuna, fried small fish, and citrus risottos. It is also ideal with fresh cheeses like buffalo mozzarella and ricotta, thanks to its acidity and minerality that cleanse the palate and pleasantly contrast the creaminess of the cheeses. Azienda Agricola Laura De Vito is a small entrepreneurial reality located in Lapio, led by Laura De Vito and assisted by her husband Carmine De Maria. The company stands out for its quality production philosophy, focused on wines that best express the peculiarities of the territory.
