Winemaking
Exultet is an elegant, precise interpretation of Fiano di Avellino – a cru made exclusively from grapes grown in a single vineyard in Lapio. The vines grow on mineral-rich soils, which give the wine its signature freshness and depth. After harvest, the wine ages for eight months on fine lees: 70% in stainless steel tanks, 30% in small oak barrels. This subtle oak influence imparts elegance, complexity, and structure to Exultet without overshadowing the varietal character.
Our tasting note
Clear, bright yellow with greenish highlights. On the nose, fresh mineral notes emerge alongside ripe peach and a hint of lime. On the palate, the wine reveals its full class: a silky, multi-layered composition of green apple, citrus fruits, yellow blossoms, and exotic aromas. Precise acidity, fine minerality, and remarkable purity elevate this Fiano to an exceptional level – a profile rarely found in Southern Italy. Exultet stands for naturalness, balance, and stylistic finesse. The finish is salty, mineral-driven, and sustained by long-lasting, fresh tension.
Quintodecimo
Luigi’s winery, Quintodecimo, is located in Mirabella Eclano, about 80 kilometres northeast of Naples, in the heart of the Taurasi DOCG. The region is characterised by green meadows, dense forests and a mild climate influenced by the Apennines – ideal conditions for cultivating vines on volcanic soils. A PhD oenologist, Luigi runs his estate organically and produces elegant Aglianico red wines that have played a key role in the modern recognition of this grape variety. Since its founding in 2001, the winery has followed a clear philosophy focused on preserving terroir and grape identity. Luigi and his wife Laura carefully select the vineyard sites and intervene only when necessary to craft characterful wines. In addition to his acclaimed Aglianico reds, Luigi also succeeds in producing outstanding white wines from the native varieties Greco, Fiano and Falanghina – wines that impress with freshness, complexity, and ageing potential.
