Brief visit to @villaraiano last week and their beautiful winery. I was accompanied by my kind host, Brunella and their beautiful #bovaroodibernaese Bernese Mountain dog, Raia# who insisted on accompanying us despite the warm weather. The power and gentleness of animals warms the soul. Drinking their 2018 Ventidue Fiano di Avellino DOCG tonight as a little tribute to them. The name Ventidue means 22 because it is 22 kilometres from the vineyard in the prestigious #lapio sub-zone to the cantina/winery. Fiano can age well if made in the right way and I tasted a few lovely examples on this trip going back to the 1990’s. Grazie @villaraiano @campaniastories
