Fiano - это белый итальянский виноградный сорт , который выращивается в основном в районе Кампании на юге Италии и на острове Сицилия . В Кампании этот довольно сильный ароматизированный вин белого вина особенно отмечен вокруг Avellino , где в Denominazione di Origine Controlatata e Garantita (DOCG). производится вино Fiano di Avellino [ 1 ] Виноград имеет долгую историю в Кампанийском регионе и, как полагают, был виноградом, стоящим за древне римским вином . [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Даже сегодня название Apianum разрешено появляться на винных ярлыках Docg Wine Fiano di Avellino. [ 4 ]
За пределами Италии несколько австралийских производителей вина начали использовать виноград. Производство, по -видимому, растет, хотя количество растущих виноградников , оно все еще мало. [ 5 ] Одно место производства находится в винодельческом регионе McLaren Vale в Южной Австралии и в винодельческом регионе Охотников в Новом Южном Уэльсе . [ 6 ] Совсем недавно некоторые виноделы в Аргентине производят Фиано в районе Ла -Риоха , к северу от Мендосы . [ 7 ]
Beyond its strong flavors and intense aroma notes, the Fiano grapevine is noted viticulturally for the relatively low yields it produces.[1]
History
[edit]
Ampelographers and wine historians consider Fiano a "classical vine" of southern Italy that likely has its origins in ancient Roman viticulture and perhaps may have even been cultivated by the ancient Greeks before them. Wine writer Jancis Robinson notes that some historians speculate that Fiano may have been the grape behind the Roman wine Apianum that was produced in the hills above Avellino.[8] The wine was produced by a grape known to the Romans as vitis apiana, with the root of apiana being the Latin for bees. Even today bees are strongly attracted to sugary pulp of Fiano grapes and are a prevalent sight in the vineyards around Avellino.[9]
The small, thick-skinned berries of Fiano usually produce very little juice and, given the vines natural propensity for low yields, can make Fiano an unprofitable variety to grow. It was for reasons such as this that Fiano saw significant declines for most of the 19th and 20th century as growers uprooted the grape in favor of varieties like Trebbiano and Sangiovese that could yield larger amounts of wine.[9] However, in recent years, the variety has enjoyed an uptick in interest as southern Italian wine regions see an influx of investment in the modernization of winemaking techniques and equipment, as well as a desire to revitalize indigenous and classical varieties.[10]
Wine regions
[edit]The Fiano grape is most closely associated with the Campanian DOCG wine of Fiano di Avellino. Nearing extinction in the later half of the 20th century, interest in the variety, spearheaded by producers such as Mastroberardino, saw a renaissance of planting around Avellino. Some of the most notable plantings of Fiano are found in hazelnut plantations around Avellino with wine tasters such as Jancis Robinson noting that the wines produced from these grapes can have a slight hazelnut flavor to them.[8]
In 2003, the area around Avellino received DOCG status for the Fiano-based wine produced. For the Fiano di Avellino DOCG, at least 85% of the wine must be made from Fiano with Greco, Coda di Volpe and Trebbiano permitted to round out the remainder of the blend. Grapes destined for this DOCG wine must be limited to a maximum harvest yield of 10 tonnes/hectare and fermented to a minimum alcohol level of 11.5%. Italian wine laws allow for producers to use the name Apianum along with the Fiano di Avellino DOCG designation to show the modern wine's connection with the historical Roman wine.[4]
It is also grown in California and produced by Cruess and Starfield Vineyards from grapes in the Russian River Valley AVA and El Dorado AVA respectively, among other wineries.

Wine styles
[edit]
According to Jancis Robinson, Fiano can produce an ageworthy wine that has the potential to develop in the bottle for several years after the vintage date. In its youth Fiano is often intensely flavored and aromatic with honey notes that over time develop more spicy and nutty notes. The advent of modern winemaking techniques with its emphasis on limiting oxidation and preserving freshness, have improved the overall quality of Fiano wines over the years. However, some producers that still practice more traditional winemaking techniques can still produce wines that come across as heavy and be prone to premature oxidation.[10]
In the opinion of wine expert Oz Clarke, well made examples of Fiano from favorable vintages should have a fair amount of weight on the palate with a floral aroma and notes of honey and spice with the potential to continue improving with bottle age.[11]
The Italian wine Fiano di Avellino is often characterized as a pale straw colored wine with strong aromas of spice and floral notes. On the palate, those aroma notes are often present along with honey and nutty hazelnut notes.[9]
Synonyms
[edit]Over the years Fiano and its wines have been known under various synonyms including Apiana, Apiano, Fiana, Fiano di Avellino, Fiore Mendillo, Foiano, Latina Bianca, Latina Bianca di Barletta, Latino, Latino Bianco, Minutola, Minutolo, and Santa Sofia.[12]
