Wine Details

Rocca Del Principe Fiano di Avellino DOCG

Vineyards for the Fiano are planted on opposite north/south sides of the Arianello hillside, indisputably one of the best locations for Fiano. One side is rich in complex volcanic soils and the other in clay and calcareous soils, resulting in a lively wine with white peach, lemon, lime and crushed stone on the nose, enhanced by elegant notes of flowers and aromatic herbs. In the mouth, it is pure, fresh and juicy, finishing with outstanding length and great acidity. The Fiano di Avellino is a true expression of territory.

Rocca Del Principe Fiano di Avellino DOCG 2023

Vinous Media (92)- "Dusty dried flowers and shavings of ginger give way to orange sorbet as the 2023 Fiano di Avellino slowly evolves in the glass. The nose opens with pretty inner sweetness that is quickly balanced by saline mineral tones and citrus-laced orchard fruits. It finishes with exceptional length and perfume, leaving a hint of sour melon and spice to linger."

Rocca Del Principe Fiano di Avellino DOCG 2021

Vinous Media (91)- "The 2021 Fiano di Avellino dazzles with a mineral-tinged blend of musky peach and sweet white flowers. It's soft and round on the palate, with a salty flourish up front, further complicated by zesty acidity and tart orchard fruits that cascade throughout. Ginger and sour melon hints linger as the 2021 finishes with youthful tension. "

Rocca Del Principe Fiano di Avellino DOCG 2020

Vinous Media (90)- "The 2020 Fiano di Avellino opens with a subtle blend of lime-spritzed apples and crushed stone. It’s soft-textured with a crisp minerality that nicely offsets its ripe orchard fruits. A honeyed inner sweetness lingers as the 2020 finishes incredibly fresh and clean yet still impactful. Nicely done."
