“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.”

If you’ve never heard of Bisci, let’s start here. Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate called Giuseppe Bisci’s Verdicchio “one of the finest I’ve ever tasted,” and noted that “Verdicchio is one of the joys of Italian oenology that rarely gets the respect it deserves, and few producers do it better than Bisci.” A staple at $85/bottle for both French Laundry and Eleven Madison Park. “Verdicchio is one of the joys of Italian oenology that rarely gets the respect it deserves, and few producers do it better than Bisci.” – The Wine Advocate
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.
Sonoma Coast is well-known as a cool-climate region, perfect for growing Chardonnay. That’s why it’s such a big deal for Route Stock to transition over for the first time from Carnernos over to here. The newly released 2022 beams freshness and comes packed with a delightful energy in its youth. It has a pale straw color with lime hues. The aromas are of honeysuckle, orange blossom and creme brulee with layers of vanilla and a hint of toffee. The palate is lively yet soft with flavors of lemon cream pie and merange.

“The 2018 Chardonnay Hyde Vineyard marks the beginning of winemaker Joe Nielsen’s tenure at the winery. Pouring a medium yellow with a light golden hue, it’s most reserved of the flight aromatically at the moment, with yellow chamomile flowers, ripe peach, beeswax, and white flowers. Full-bodied, it retains excellent tension and focus on the palate, with apricot, orange zest, and a savory finish with a bit of spice. I suspect this will come around and open with time. Drink 2024-2030.” -Jeb Dunnuck
