The Fiano "Particella 928" from Cantina del Barone is the result of the experience of Luigi Sarno, a sublime white wine maker, who has made a deep mark in the family tradition of Campanian winemakers through the creation of a new product that expresses the territory at its best. In 2001, the "Particella 928" was selected from within the Fiano vineyard, which was replanted with a new planting density and with a different orientation of the rows to best irradiate all the vines planted in the volcanic soil rich in minerals, facing south.

Once bottled, the wine ages for 4 months.
