Fiano di Avellino Riserva Stilema Mastroberardino 2019 (1.5L)

93 Points, Monica Larner, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The Mastroberardino 2019 Fiano di Avellino Riserva Stiléma takes a few extra minutes to express itself. That slight hint of initial reduction blows off to reveal soft citrus, exotic fruit, white peach and pear. The wine's flinty mineral signature is well defined. Fruit is sourced from four vineyard sites, and the wine is mostly aged in stainless steel with just 10% in barrique. Production is 6,700 bottles." 10/23

93 Points, Eric Guido, Vinous: "The 2019 Fiano di Avellino Riserva Stilema is aromatically intense, with a burst of ground ginger, cumin, incense and crushed green apples. This is a seductress, with a sweet burst of ripe fruit up front that is quickly contrasted by a twist of lemon zest and brisk acidity. The incredibly fresh, the 2019 is also impossibly long, finishing with a sensation of liquid stone and a pleasantly bitter tinge that calls me back to the glass for more." 03/24

96 Points, Danielle Callegari, Wine Enthusiast: "The nose is sweet yet textured, thoughtful and almost wistful, with notes of vanilla, pear, yellow apple, lemon, dried pineapple and almond paste. On the elegant, equally compelling palate, a more intense lemon element swirls around fresher pineapple notes and emergent melon flavors, before a toasted almond finish. Bright acid adds a subtle crackle to an overall satiny mouthfeel..." 05/24

93 Points, James Suckling: "A fresh fiano with honeysuckle, flint, oyster shell and green pear aromas that follow through to a medium body, creamy texture and fruity finish. Lightly salty at the end..." 05/24
