Rocca del Principe Fiano di Avellino DOCG 2018 - Bt

Tasting note

The 2018 Fiano di Avellino Tognano is an understated beauty, as it opens slowly with a delicate display of honeyed flowers, chamomile and white smoke. It takes time in the glass for notes of lemon oil, nectarine and minty herbs to evolve. This fills the palate with soft, pliant textures and ripe orchard fruits complemented by notes of almond paste, as a reverberation of saline-minerals generates toward the close. The 2018 Tognano leaves the mouth watering, while it slowly fades from the senses with notes of sweetened sun tea and a salty flourish.

Score: 92
