WINE DESCRIPTION
Winemaker Sabino Loffredo has swiftly garnered acclaim for crafting some of the most exquisite Greco and Fiano wines in Avellino, Campania. Founded in 1993 by his family, Pietracupa began with just 3 hectares of vineyards, carefully chosen to showcase the region's mountainous terrain. Sabino produces limited quantities of Fiano, Greco, Falanghina, and Aglianico, sourced from Avellino's finest vines. Both winemaker and wine embrace a philosophy rooted in authenticity, expressing the land's elegance, depth, and minerality. Eschewing the Fiano di Avellino DOCG classification, Sabino prioritizes the fruit, resulting in exceptional wines that epitomize originality and quality. Pietracupa Fiano stands among the finest available, perfectly complementing seafood and olive oil-based dishes.
