From our Importer: Fiano and only Fiano. The singular pursuit of Tenuta Sarno is to create world class wines from the indigenous variety of their territory, Fiano di Avellino. Maura Sarno's family purchased their first plot in 1860, yet winemaking was only a "hobby" until Maura decided to follow her then recently deceased father's dream and replanted their ancient vineyard in 2002 and built a modern winery. So after a great deal of study (clones, rootstocks etc) they planted a very high density vineyard, 5500 plants per hectare on 7 + hectares at 630 M ASL, coincidentally some of the highest vineyards in the entire Fiano zone. The tiny village of Candida, (named for the bright white type of limestone, "pietra candida",) 15 km SE of Avellino, was not considered in the past to be a great terroir for Fiano. Too high, too cool. Now with climate change, the climate is ideal and the stone, unique to Candida, imparts a distinct minerality to the wines of the area. Sarno has rented another 6 nearby hectares and planted and so now is farming 13 of the total of 30 hectares of Fiano in Candida. The still Fiano comes in two variations. No skin contact and partial skin contact. (Emme) . All of them delicious on release yet seem to beg for additional aging that will be handsomely rewarded. Reviews of their efforts put this young /old operation very near the top of the class, so early on in their journey. Already masterful, the best is yet to come!
