Fiano di Avellino Neviera di Sopra by Rocca del Principe is a CRU wine that originates in Lapio in the Neviera district at 570 meters above sea level. Neviera is the coldest district that experiences the greatest temperature range, compared to other areas of the municipality of Lapio, characterizing grapes that give the wine freshness, elegance, complexity and longevity.
