Fiano di Avellino “Pietramara”
Pietramara comes from a single estate vineyard in Altripalda, planted at 420 meters above sea level on clay-rich hillside soil. The Fiano vines, 20–25 years old and trained in Guyot, are hand-harvested in mid-October and gently macerated on the skins before fermenting slowly in temperature-controlled stainless steel — a process built to protect freshness and let the fruit speak for itself.
