Fiano
/fee-AH-noh/Fiano is a noble white grape of Campania, best known for the DOCG wine Fiano di Avellino. It produces dry, structured whites of real character — honeyed and hazelnut-scented yet racy, with a distinctive flinty minerality. It is a food-friendly, age-worthy grape that embodies the under-appreciated quality of southern Italian white wine.
