Irpinia, in the hills east of Naples, is home to Fiano di Avellino, a white with the depth to age like few others in Italy. Joaquin is a small, independent grower there, and Vino della Stella is its Fiano. With several years of bottle age, expect honey, toasted hazelnut, dried pear, and a smoky mineral note, with a rich, layered texture. Joaquin, 2019 vintage. Serve cool, not cold. Pair with lobster, roast chicken, or truffle pasta.
