The Fiano di Avellino Riserva "Vigna della Congregazione" represents one of the most renowned and prestigious labels of the Villa Diamante winery.

The Fiano di Avellino Riserva "Vigna della Congregazione" is the result of the rigorous work carried out on the Montefredane estate, following the principles of organic farming and a profound respect for the environment. This wine comes from the vineyard of the same name, a portion of land of exceptional value, spread over a couple of hectares at an altitude of 430 meters above sea level and facing north. The vines, with an age ranging from 15 to 35 years, sink their roots in soils made up of calcareous-clayey marl. The continental climate, characterized by freshness and considerable temperature ranges, allows us to obtain grapes with an extraordinary aromatic richness. The harvest, carried out manually in the second half of October, is followed by a delicate pressing. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature, using selected yeasts. The wine matures for about a year on the lees and then ages for 8 months in the bottle.
