Rocca del Principe Fiano di Avellino · Campania, Italy · 2022

The Moment

This is the bottle that rewards slowing down. It’s poured when dinner is still an idea, when plates are small and conversation is big — the kind of wine that invites you to pause, taste, and recalibrate the evening.

What It Feels Like

’Liquid stone’ is the phrase that keeps coming back. Aromas of white flowers, orange blossom, and dusty florals open the glass, followed by green apple, young peach, yellow plum, lime, and cedar. On the palate, it’s fresh and full-bodied, with crisp acidity wrapped around a saline, mineral core. Subtle notes of raw almond, toasted hazelnut, thyme, and sage add savory depth. The finish is long, clean, and unmistakably volcanic.

Perfect For

• Seafood, shellfish, and coastal Italian dishes

• Pizza, pasta, and vegetable-forward plates

• When you love Albariño or Sancerre but want more texture and soul

The Vibe Pairing

• Playlist energy: Italian indie, mellow electronica, late-night jazz

• Aura color: Volcanic stone gray with citrus peel

• Time of day: Early evening → dinner stretch

Why We Love It

Fiano di Avellino is one of Italy’s great white wines — structured, mineral, and quietly powerful. This bottle captures that balance perfectly: floral lift, savory depth, and acidity that keeps everything alive. It’s thoughtful, grounded, and endlessly food-friendly.
