What is this wine?
Ciro Picariello is one of Campania’s most respected growers, celebrated for precise, mineral-driven whites from high-altitude vineyards in Irpinia. His Fiano di Avellino “Ciro 906” is a flagship bottling, sourced from a single parcel planted in 1990 at about 600 meters above sea level. The name refers to both the vineyard (Ciro) and the year of planting (’90), while the “6” signifies the altitude in hundreds of meters. Fermented and aged in stainless steel, it captures Fiano’s purity and age-worthy structure. The 2022 vintage produced concentrated yet balanced whites with vibrant freshness.

Why get this wine?
“Ciro 906” is a benchmark Fiano—racy, mineral, and built to age. It shows why this grape is often considered Campania’s finest white, with depth that rivals great white Burgundy but at a fraction of the price. For collectors of distinctive Italian whites, this bottling is essential.

What does this wine taste like?
Pear, quince, and citrus layered with almond, herbs, and smoky minerality. Textured and structured, with vibrant acidity and a long, saline finish. Youthful now, but clearly built for the cellar.

When should you drink this wine?
Enjoy from now with aeration, but best 2025–2035 as it develops honeyed, nutty complexity. Perfect with shellfish, grilled fish, poultry, or aged cheeses.

What are the great Italian whites? There are many promising categories. But an important one that is getting much attention these days is the traditional white grapes of Campania, including Fiano and Greco.

One of our favorite producers of these wines is Ciro Picariello. It's a domaine that specializes in white wines made from high-altitude vines, all native to Campania, grown in volcanic soils. Because of the high altitudes—up to 2,100 feet above sea level—it takes a long time for the grapes to get ripe, and they develop wonderful depth while preserving their natural acidities. With very minimal work in the cellar (natural fermentation, minimal sulfur), the pure essence of these grape varieties and their volcanic terroirs shines through in bottle.

How good are these wines? Very good! With fruit, minerality, verve, and that special sense of terroir, you can compare them without shame to the great whites of Burgundy, the Loire, or the Mosel.
