“Ciro is, in my opinion, the greatest producer of Fiano in Avellino – and therefore, the greatest producer of Fiano in the world” – Joe Campanle, “Vino: The Essential Guide to Real Italian Wine”
The quote above is not to be taken lightly, because Joe is probably right. I mean this is totally, totally knock-out Fiano that’s on a different level than most of its peers.
Ciro Picariello is a big hit with the NYC Michelin set, and with good reason. It’s a super classy bottle of wine. We’re talking high altitude, careful winemaking, and volcanic rich soils that produce some of the most structured, mineral laden, and age worthy whites we offer.
“The Ciro Picariello 2019 Fiano di Avellino Ciro 906 is a clear protagonist among the great white wines of Campania. Fruit comes from a one-hectare plot registered as “particella 906,” with vines planted in 1990 on rocky volcanic soils at 650 meters in elevation. Only 3,000 bottles emerge from this site. The wine stands apart for its texture, with firm fruit and a pretty, glossy quality. The bouquet is layered with lemon essence, saffron, green apple and crushed stone. You can count on this bottle to continue its evolution and to grow in complexity.”

Elena Walch’s newly released 2022 Pinot Bianco continues to be the best example of Pinot Blanc anywhere. She’s the undisputed queen. There’s so much energy in this new release. Super light in color, with a busy nose that boasts ripe aromas of citrus, granny smith apple with a hint of freshly mowed grass. Made entirely in stainless steel, the wine is expressive, fresh and finishes as clean and tight as can be. Definitely will continue the run of 90+ scores once this one is reviewed.
92 Points (Best Buy), Wine Enthusiast – 90 Points, James Suckling
The winery could never expected their Tuscan Vermentino would become as integral as it has – even 25 years later, it’s still a key piece of the puzzle for Campo Maccione. It’s an unassuming wine with great viscosity and bright, savory flavors that way overdelivers for the price. James Suckling agreed, as did Wine Enthusiast. Suckling gave it a 90 and deemed it “an interesting take on Tuscan Vermentino.” Wine Enthusiast took it up a few notches, attaching a coveted ‘Best Buy’ designate to the wine along with a 92-point review for the wine “with a sophisticated restraint.”
The 2016 vintage in Napa was nearly perfect for winemaker Kian Tavakoli (Opus One, Clos du Val). With ideal weather all throughout harvest, he crafted the Faustini Money Road Chardonnay off the famous vineyard located in the coveted Oakville AVA. The picturesque vineyard off Oakville Crossroad is platinum rated, known for its ideal combination of soil & climate and the big A list names that routinely source fruit. Kian’s Money Road Chard is still youthful despite having a few years of age, probably as a result of its 18 months of slumber in 1/4 new Oak.
This is a super elegant Meursault from the family-run estate located in the village of Monthelie, between Volnay and Meursault in the heart of Burgundy’s Côte de Beaune. It leads with nutty aromas of brioche, fresh butter and delicate citrus and is extremely well structured, long and stylish with great purity of fruit.
