Vadiaperti is one of the defining estates of Montefredane, a hilltop village in Irpinia that has emerged as one of Italy’s most important sources of ageworthy white wine. Founded by Antonio Troisi in the 1980s and now guided by his son Raffaele, the estate has spent decades championing a traditional, terroir-driven style of Fiano di Avellino—one built on purity, freshness, and a deep sense of place. The vineyards sit among the cool, elevated hills of Avellino, where dramatic diurnal shifts and mineral-rich volcanic-derived soils allow Fiano to develop both aromatic intensity and remarkable longevity. Fermented and aged in stainless steel, this bottling captures the unvarnished character of the grape and the distinctive identity of Montefredane.

The 2024 Fiano di Avellino shows why this variety has earned a reputation as one of Italy’s greatest white wine grapes. The wine combines Meyer lemon, white flowers, wild Mediterranean herbs, and orchard fruit with the savory complexity that defines serious Fiano: almond, hazelnut, and a subtle smoky mineral edge. Its vibrant acidity gives the wine energy and precision, while its supple texture provides the depth and versatility to complement everything from seafood to richer Mediterranean cuisine. For those looking beyond the familiar wines of coastal Campania, Vadiaperti offers a true insider’s expression of the region—an authentic, ageworthy white from one of Irpinia’s benchmark producers.

Why You'll Love It

• Montefredane pedigree: Sourced from one of Fiano di Avellino’s most celebrated villages, where elevation, climate, and ancient soils produce some of Italy’s most compelling white wines.
• A benchmark producer: Vadiaperti has helped define the modern reputation of Irpinia, crafting traditional Fiano with a focus on purity, balance, and site expression since the 1980s.
• Serious white wine value: A textured, mineral-driven Italian white with the complexity and aging potential of far more expensive bottlings from better-known regions.

How to Serve It

• Serve at 50–55°F in a quality white wine glass; a few minutes of air will allow the floral, nutty, and mineral notes to fully emerge.
• Enjoy now for its citrus-driven freshness, or cellar for 3–5 years as Fiano develops richer notes of honey, toasted nuts, and savory complexity.
• Pair with linguine alle vongole, grilled Mediterranean fish, roasted shellfish, burrata, herb-roasted chicken, or dishes featuring fresh herbs and olive oil.
