Mastroberardino Stilèma Riserva Fiano di Avellino 2019

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. Score – 96. (Danielle Callegari, Wine Enthusiast, May 1, 2024)
