Fiano Wines
Fiano is one of the 2000 strong indigenous Italian grapes. Producing aromatic and dry white wines. Commonly found in the south of Italy the wines resemble a cross between Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay and offer a beautiful white wine experience. The Fiano Grape also grown in Campania, Italy is said by its growers to be a very old Roman variety, the ones that the Romans called "apianus" (meaning loved by bees). Others aren't sure if this was the exact grape of this name. The grape was almost extinct but was brought back from the brink by Antonio and Walter Mastroberardino in the mid 1900s who gathered and cultivated cuttings from the few examples still extant then.
