Fiano of Avellino D.O.C.G.
It was the Greeks who brought the original Fiano vine, the “Vitis Apicia”, to Italy: the first vines were planted in Lapio, a locality that took its name from the grape, the municipality where Fiano is still produced. In turn, the name “Vitis Apicia” or “Apina” derives from the characteristic, precisely of this sweet-scented grape, of attracting swarms of bees to the vineyards. From Apina came “Apiana” and from this “Afiana”, therefore Fiano.
