VINITY WINE COMPANY
DE CONCILIIS, Fiano "Donna Luna "
This highly regarded, dry white wine is made from the ancient Fiano grape. Fiano, meaning vine “beloved of bees”, is a grape indigenous to Campania and is one of the most interesting white grapes of southern Italy. Bruno capitalizes on his vineyard’s southern exposure, ancient soils and ripe climate to produce a full bodied, fruit driven wine redolent of pears and hazelnut with balanced acidity and a creamy, rich finish. "Fiano di Paestum" on the label indicates that the wine was made from grapes grown in the Cilento area just south-west of the region.
