TASTING NOTES
Saudoni is a contrada in the municipality of Lapio, in the province of Avellino. Laura De Vito is absolutely fascinated by zoning and for her wines in the cellar she has chosen to follow the Cru route, hence this wine takes its dialect name Li Sauruni from the contrada in which the grapes are grown. The vineyard grows at 600 m above sea level and is the highest vineyard on the estate. Harvesting of the Fiano grapes from the Li Sauruni vineyard generally starts in the second week of October, completely by hand, and the bunches are immediately taken to the cellar and gently pressed. Fermentation in thermoregulated steel tanks is followed by a long maturation, again in steel, of 9 months. Once bottled, Li Sauruni remains in the bottle for at least 20 months before release. This wine is characterised by typical hints of pear, apricot, lime, and light smoky notes that are gracefully enhanced by the long ageing. Each wine from a single vineyard of Laura De Vito is unique and characteristic.

Laura De Vito's winery is located in Lapio, in the historic heart of Irpinia, in the province of Avellino. Fiano di Avellino Docg is produced in this area, and the winery's 10 hectares are painstakingly zoned by oenologist Vincenzo Mercurio. In addition to the company's flagship wine, Elle, the winery produces three Cru wines, in limited quantities, from three distinct areas with very different characteristics: VERZARE, ARIANIELLO and SAUDONI. The wines produced are vinified and matured in steel vats, in order to exalt, thanks also to long ageing in the bottle, the peculiar characteristics of each soil. All work in the vineyard and cellar is scrupulously supervised by Laura de Vito and her husband Carmine de Maria, following the meticulous indications of the house oenologist.
