Sparkling straw yellow with green highlights. In contrast to the Greco, the Fiano offers a more robust and expansive nose with refined fragrances of jasmine, golden delicious apples, candied violets and a strong mineral disgression. A substantial and aristocratic palate with a marked acidity and a vein of citrus that echoes throughout the fine, long and slightly almond finish.

The Fiano di Avellino IGT Pietracupa grapes are hand-harvested in September/October. After pressing the grapes, the must is fermented in stainless steel tank. The finished wine matures on the lees for at least 6 months before bottling and then at least 8 months in the bottle before it is ready to be released.
The historic vigneron Sabino “Sammy Bruno” Loffredo has quickly gained a reputation within and beyond Italy for some of the best Greco and Fiano wines. In fact, his Greco is often considered by many to be the single best example of the variety. Loffredo has definitely lived up to his award of “Up and coming winery of the year 2006” in Gambero Rosso. Founded in 1993, the 3 hectares of vineyards were chosen with the express purpose of showcasing Montefredane to the wine world. Located in the province of Avellino on elevated, mountainous terrain, they produce limited quantities of Fiano, Greco, Falanghina, and Aglianico. The wines follow a similar ideology to Loffredo as original and faithful to the land. They show elegance, depth, and mineral character – though Loffredo himself is more of an extrovert! The wines are ready for release after bottling but have excellent age-ability, becoming more beautiful as they gain complexity in the bottle.
An enchanting wine delivering distinctive aromas of peach and apricot. Crisp, with pure varietal character, echoed on the palate, this refreshing wine has an excellent structure and a lively finish. Lovely Riesling expression.
Aromatic scent with hints of apricot, wisteria in youth. Mineral and complex after maturation. Full, fruity and dry flavor
It is one of the most famous and renowned wines of the area. Characteristic for its straw color with particular greenish reflections and its own perfume, with a vague reference to the almond aroma. The flavor is full-bodied, dry and harmonious.
Spicy grapefruit with tropical fruit notes on the palate through to a mineral, crisp finish with classic hints of white pepper.
Intense and fresh bouquet, characterized by aromas of acacia and ripe peach. Fruity on the palate, with hints of toasted almonds.
A delicate floral bouquet is complemented by expressive and characteristic lemon notes. Supple and fruity, on the palate, this is dry and zesty with refreshing mineral notes; a great expression of Alsace Riesling.
