Fiano di Avellino "Numero Primo" DOCG - Company: VentitréFilari

Known as vitis apicia, for its intense, sweet aroma that attracts bees to the vineyards, Fiano is a wine rich in history, brought to Italy by the Greeks and planted by them in Irpinia. Its refined and structured character made it the wine of kings and emperors. Preserving the characteristics of its past, our production philosophy aims to combine them with the uniqueness of its terroir, creating a true union of territory and flavors. Our ongoing pursuit of high quality has led to the decision to produce a limited quantity of bottles, to protect production from invasive techniques and to manage the grape-wine process as it was once done.

This is the path we chose and which led us to Numero Primo, our first wine, to which we wanted to dedicate a name that represents its essence.
First, because it is the winery's first wine, the one that marks the beginning of a series. Numero Primo, number twenty-three, is one of those special numbers that stand out from the others; they are infinite, they are what generate the product, they are different, like the one we want to offer our customers. The properties of a wine begin with pruning, and we have used a more rigorous technique, with lower yields and fewer bunches, but which increases the quality of the grapes and their alcohol content. In white winemaking, the choice to keep the must on the lees for longer periods has given our wine longevity and body, in the pursuit of winemaking excellence.
