Descrizione

Pietracupa's Fiano di Avellino IGT, one of the most renowned white wines in Campania, does not fail to demonstrate its vocation for excellence with each harvest. Impossible to resist it, if kept in the cellar it will be possible to taste it even in a few years during which it will maintain its perfection.

The production method involves a white vinification followed by aging in steel and bottle.

Straw yellow, it gives off a deep aroma of white fruit, especially peach, with a slight hint of jasmine and thyme in the background. On the palate it is fresh and gratifying, inviting each sip to the next, to then become tasty, closing with a clean finish.

It goes perfectly with an aperitif, but absolutely recommended as an accompaniment to fish-based dishes.

Winery history

The family's winemaking origins are documented in various sources: some report agricultural activity as early as the 1970s in the contrada Vadiaperti, while the modern project known as Pietracupa was launched in the early 1990s. In the years that followed, Sabino Loffredo became the company's leading figure, bringing it national and international visibility with white and red wines that showcase the territory of Montefredane.

Production philosophy

Small-scale production focused on the local area and indigenous varieties, with an artisanal approach that places strong emphasis on grape quality and the expression of the local volcanic soil, highlighting Fiano and Greco as the main references.

Terroir and vineyards

Located in Montefredane on hilly terrain over a tuffaceous substratum. The vineyards are planted in the higher, cooler parts of the area, with mineral soils that influence the structure and longevity of the wines.

Awards and recognitions

Noted by Gambero Rosso as "Up and coming winery of the year". Other mentions in guides include awards for Fiano and Greco.
