Production
Area:
On Irpinia hills. A land of ancient traditions, half way between Amalfi Coast and Adriatic Sea, from Fiano Grapes we make Donna Celeste,a white wine golden yellow in colour with greenish reflexes, rich of floral and vegetal smells.
Grape Variety: Fiano di Avellino 100%.
Vineyards: Grapes are produced specifically for us on the best sites of Capriglia Irpina. We usually make multi annual contracts with producers in order to guarantee a continuous high level of grape quality.
Wine Making:
Late harvest at the end of October, with careful selection of grapes. The wine making process is carried out partly in still tanks with controlled temperature to maximise freshness and grape aromas and partly in French oak tonneaux to improve wine structure and complexity.
Fining: Short fining in bottles.
Tasting

Golden yellow in colour with greenish reflexes, it has a prevalent floral fragrance of linden and acacia and a vegetal nuance of wild fennel. It is soft, long and elegant with a pleasant and well balanced close leaving notes of almond and hazelnut.
