Sabbino Loffredo, the owner of Pietracupa, has become synonymous with quality in Campania. He is looked to for benchmark and boundary pushing Greco, Fiano and Taurasi on his modest, 8-hectare estate where he works tirelessly to product some phenomenal wines. These are wines of precision, elegance and absolute quality that should be tried by all wine fans. Fiano is southern Italy’s most widely planted white grape and it succeeds in the warmer climate of the Mezzogiorno thanks to its ability to retain acidity long into the ripening season, so the pronounced stone and exotic fruit notes are balanced by a wonderful freshness. Nowhere is the expression of Fiano more accomplished than around the town of Avellino in Campania, and few produce a more expressive, mineral and balanced example than Pietracupa.

Tasting Note: On the nose there is a beautiful combination of clear floral notes, jasmine and orange blossom, with ripe green apple and apricots all alongside and a steeliness is calling you to taste. The palate is concentrated and textured, with weaving flavours of sage, honeyed lemon, peach skin and steel, with Pietracupa’s hallmark soaring acidity that lingers for what feels like hours. Pair this with grilled squid or baked sea bream, or fritto misto or pork chop – delicious.
