Ciro Picariello
Ciro 906 Fiano di Avellino
Avellino, Campania, Italy
The 2019 Fiano di Avellino Ciro 906 takes its time to open in the glass, at first savory with hints of young peach and almond. Further coaxing brings a richness forward, coupled with notes of flowery undergrowth and gingery spice. It coasts across the palate with silken textures that are wonderfully contrasted by saline-mineral tones, as ripe orchard fruits settle upon the senses. The long and tension-filled finale buzzes with nervous energy, leaving hints of granny smith and zests of lemon to linger. The best is surely yet to come here; yet even today, the Ciro 906 is enjoyable on its intensity alone. (Eric Guido, Vinous, January 2022)
