Tasting Notes: Cantina del Barone’s Fiano expresses real elegance, generous in its fleshiness and captivating floral aromas, with a distinct toasted hazelnut note adding to the graceful finish.
Estate History: While the Sarno family has worked the land at Cantina del Barone for over one hundred years, the property originally belonged to a wealthy baron from Naples who relied on the Sarnos to tend to his hazelnut trees and vegetable plots. Over forty years ago, a dream came true when Antonio Sarno purchased the estate from the barone and then planted the first Fiano vines in 1985. Located in the hilly region known as Irpinia, just twenty miles inland of Mount Vesuvius, this small family vineyard is ideally situated to benefit from a terroir that is home to one of Italy’s most noble white wines. Fiano thrives in these dark, sandy volcanic soils laden with shell deposits, benefitting from long, hot days and cool nights thanks to the influence of surrounding mountains.
