Dal Vulcano Fiano Beneventano | Campania, Italy

£15.20

Fiano is a native grape grown in Campania, a region with areas of tuff( volcanic ash rock) and thermal water sources.

Thriving in the volcanic soils, this varietal produces a fresh and balanced wine, with a distinct mineral character, tropical fruit flavours and a good persistence.

The grapes are crushed, destemmed and softly pressed. After static decantation/flotation, vinification is carried out at a controlled temperature with selected yeasts; then ageing on fine lees.

Dal Vulcano’s vineyards are based in the Beneventano region, a key IGT title used in southern Italy’s Campania. It is one of 10 IGT titles in Campania and covers the Benevento province in its entirety and ranks among the most successful IGTs in all of Italy.

Food pairing suggestions: works well with seafood-baked fish, shellfish, etc. It’s perfect with vegetarian pasta dishes, where the crispness of the wine offsets the richness of cream-based sauces and complements the acidity of tomato based recipes.
