Ciro Picariello Greco di Tufo

Ciro Picariello Greco di Tufo. The production area is Altavilla. The grape variety is 100% Greco white. Vinification and subsequent aging in stainless steel tanks with batonnages for 8 months. Refinement in bottle for 3 months. On the nose orange blossom, citrus peel, melon. Fine and persistent.

The absolute height of what can be achieved when conscientious and fastidious work is the foundation.

Ciro’s small production comes equally from 7 hectares where high altitude plantings are the focus. Only stainless steel is used at the winery, wines are kept undisturbed on fine lees for aging, and only small amounts of sulfur are added.

As Ciro has proven, when executed with precision this brings the flavors one step closer to the raw materials on vine and a distinct sense of place. This is the best stable of young white wines coming from southern Italy today.

Winery Description

Ciro Picariello has quickly become one of the star producers of Fiano di Avellino. He and his wife started their winery back in 1997, but their first vintage under their own label was not until 2004. Their 12 hectares of vineyards are located at relatively high elevation in the province of Campania, divided between the villages of Montefredane (1,600 feet above sea level) and Summonte (2,100 feet).

The harvest for the Fiano occurs in late October, very late for white wine. The grapes are hand-picked and carefully sorted and then pressed slowly with only the first press fraction used in the DOCG Fiano. The wines are then fermented with indigenous yeasts in stainless tanks. The Fiano is aged on its fine lees for an extended period between 11-12 months (plus several months more in bottle before release), with the Irpinia Fiano slightly shorter, 7-8 months. Use of SO2 is minimal; the wines are not filtered nor fined.

The flagship white is the Ciro 906 bottling of Fiano made from a single parcel (#906 on the official Avellino map) at 650 meters in elevation. This parcel has their oldest vines, the first planted by Ciro back in 1990. This wine is not produced every year, only in colder vintages with more acidity. It stayes 12 months on the lees in steel followed by 18 months in the bottle before release.
