Description
Mastroberardino’s legendary Radici line captures the soul of Campania, and this 750mL bottle of Fiano is a vivid ambassador of the grape’s ancient pedigree. Sourced from high-elevation, volcanic soils in Irpinia’s Lapio commune, the wine ferments slowly in temperature-controlled stainless steel before resting on its fine lees, preserving purity while adding texture. In the glass, the straw-gold hue flashes green highlights, foreshadowing the wine’s brisk energy. On first swirl, aromas of white peach, Golden Delicious apple, Bartlett pear, and acacia blossom rise, soon joined by hints of toasted hazelnut, wild honey, and a whisper of flinty smoke that speaks to the ash-rich terroir. The palate is medium bodied yet graceful, balancing supple orchard-fruit flavors with mouth-watering citrus acidity and a gentle creamy note from lees aging. A mineral spine runs through the finish, leaving impressions of almond skin and fennel that invite another sip.
Radici Fiano’s versatility makes it a brilliant partner for Long Island shellfish, grilled branzino, roast chicken, or a simple plate of burrata and heirloom tomatoes. Enjoy it now lightly chilled, or cellar for five to seven years to see tertiary notes of chamomile and dried apricot emerge.
