Fiano

White wine grape · reported 2011–2025

Further reading: VIVC catalog entry

Fiano is an Italian variety from Campania, used historically for the aromatic whites of Avellino. It has no bearing acreage reported to CDFA in California; the atlas records it in district data starting in 2011, appearing across 13 crush districts over 15 crop years. It is an aromatic white grape with good aging potential in its home region. In California it remains a small, largely unreported planting.
