The 2007 Fiano di Avellino Colle dei Cerri shows thickness and glycerin in the glass with off-gold color saturation. The bouquet shows cantaloupe melon, candied fruit, zesty orange peel and tropical fruit. The wine is creamy and richly textured, yet the fruit at the wine's core is vibrant and teeming with spirit. I'm not completely confident that the wine will last for as long as I have indicated in my estimated drinking window, but I'm going to give it the benefit of the doubt. Only 5,000 bottles were made.

Very ripe aromas of peach pie, cream and toasty oak. Full-bodied, with plenty of ripe fruit and a long, flavorful finish. Drink now. 500 cases made, 50 cases imported.??–JS??Region: Italy / South / Fiano di Avellino Select to Add

The 2006 Fiano di Avellino Colle dei Cerri is a solid and sophisticated white wine with pretty mineral tones that segue to dried citrus, melon, yellow rose and candied fruit. The wine is amazingly conserved and youthful despite its older age (dating almost ten years from the vintage). It is an elegantly aged and layered expression of Greco and this wine demonstrates the long aging capacity of this promising grape. Given its current track record, you can count on another five years of bottle aging.

Very flinty aromas, with dried lemon and apple pie, follow through to a full body, featuring lots of fruit and a medium finish. Slightly short. Drink now. 500 cases made, 100 cases imported.??–JS??Region: Italy / South / Fiano di Avellino Select to Add
