Pietracupa

Bright, aromatic, almost exuberant Falanghina that focuses on its well-defined, brilliant fruit and pleasantly pleasing style. Fine summer meadow scent, citrusy tones and a dry cereal note on the palate. Very endearing and full of character at the same time! SUPERIORE.DE

"Another representative of pure craftsmanship, a pure Falanghina aged only in steel. On the nose, notes of jasmine, yellow plums, a touch of fresh thyme and white pepper. The taste is fruity and floral, with balsamic and spicy hints." Luca Gardini

Light gold, lots of mineral notes in the nose and fine pear, peach, apple. Lively, fresh and delicate on the palate, racy acid structure, unfolds splendidly, fresh and delicate. This rare drop is one of the best representatives of its grape variety every year. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright, light straw yellow. In the nose of fresh honey, green pears, meadow herbs, in the reverberation slightly of peppermint. On the palate racy and powerful, also shows fine phenolic, elegant, seems very pure, with nice length." Falstaff

"This has a pretty nose of white peaches, grapefruits, wild herbs, stones and white flowers. Medium-bodied with crisp acidity and minerally at the end." James Suckling

This Pietracupa wine perfectly combines the aromatic grace of Fiano di Avellino with the mineral strength of the Montefredane soil. Citrus notes on the nose, a variety of fruit flavours on the palate, rocky minerality, complexity and an excellent structure beguile the senses. SUPERIORE.DE

"The Pietracupa 2021 Fiano is a linear and crisp white wine that opens to a flinty mineral tone that dovetails into unripe peach, white flower and pulpy grapefruit. The whole presentation is smooth and very true to this fantastic white grape from southern Italy. The wine ends with notes of freshness and saltiness, and it's all beautifully balanced." Wine Advocate

"Colline di Montefredano, province of Avellino, a commendable project of denial of the territory from which this Fiano comes, produced exclusively in steel. On the nose, marjoram and white peach, then wisteria and lime, salty, crisp, slightly almondy on the palate." Luca Gardini

Pietracupas Taurasi (small edition 4,000 bottles) is a real rarity and still an insider tip. It demonstrates excellent balance and has a very long, silky texture that does not lack power and freshness. You will find lots of dark fruits like cherry and blackberry, but also earthy tones as well as pencil shavings and sweet spices from the oak. Great potential, wonderfully long and strong in character. SUPERIORE.DE

"Aromas of grilled meat, plum and a subtle honeysuckle note. Full-bodied with silky tannins. Spicy on the palate with lots of dried herbs and earthy spices. Finish with coffee." James Suckling
