What is FIANO - What you need to know about this popular Italian grape

In this video I take a look at the Fiano grape as part of the A-Z of Wine Series
Fiano is a white Italian wine grape variety that is grown primarily in the Campania region of southern Italy and on the island of Sicily. In Campania, this fairly strong flavored white wine grape is particularly noted around Avellino where the Denominazione di origine controllata e Garantita (DOCG) wine of Fiano di Avellino is produced. The grape has a long history in the Campanian region and is believed to have been the grape behind the ancient Roman wine Apianum.
Outside of Italy, several Australian wine producers have begun to use the grape. Production seems to be increasing, although the number of vineyards growing it is still small. One place of production is in the McLaren Vale wine region of South Australia. More recently, some winemakers in Argentina are producing Fiano in the La Rioja district, north of Mendoza.
Beyond its strong flavors and intense aroma notes, the Fiano grapevine is noted viticulturally for the relatively low yields it produces.
The wine tasted is the Mandrarossa Fiano from Sicily

Hi, i tried last night for valentines day with madam an excellent fiano from puglia, apasimiento.
Was very surprised about his complexity, first nose of nuts, blue cheese, then reglisse and bergamote. Surprising full bodied attack and very elegant freshness at the end...as well medium + lengts in mouth...
Can you tell me more about this way of vinification ?
Cheers from France

I’ve never had Fiano, I have Greco di Tufo, and Pino Grigio. I bought a Gavi to try along with a rosé Franciacorta and an Ribolla Gialla Brut. I’m a sparkling wine lover.

Drink the wine from their areas of origin! FIANO should be drunk from the Campania region and must be created in the province of Avellino. "FIANO di Avellino DOCG" ! In Sicily there are other original grapes that can be enjoyed well but Fiano

Hah. Next you'll be telling me I can't drink Napa Cab or Aussie Shiraz.
