Williams pear, candied apricot and lemongrass lead, folded into the toasted almond and acacia honey the 2025 release sheets describe. Air brings wild flowers, chamomile and a light smoky edge, the mark of Fiano grown high in the Avellino hills.
Vinosia Le Grade Fiano di Avellino DOCG
Vinosia
Vinosia's single-site Fiano from San Potito Ultra, grown at around 500 metres on clay threaded with volcanic tuff. Steel-raised, dry and saline, it layers Williams pear, apricot and toasted almond over a mineral spine. About £17 in the UK.

- Taste profile
Dry and medium-bodied at 13.5%, smooth in texture yet driven by citrus freshness. The saline, stony spine comes straight off the site: Le Grade's clay at San Potito Ultra carries volcanic and tufaceous material at roughly 500 metres, and three months on fine lees in steel keeps the fruit taut rather than creamy.
Long and savoury, closing on wet stone and a bitter-almond echo. Across 968 Vivino ratings, minerality, honey and salt are the notes drinkers mention most.
Vinosia's estate Fiano rather than a riserva, from the family that helped build Feudi di San Gregorio. It averages 3.8 on Vivino with the 2022 the strongest recent year at 3.9; drink the 2025 from release to about 2030, as pear and apricot turn towards honey and chamomile.
Buying the 2025 Le Grade in the UK
Eurowines lists the 2025 at £17.82 a bottle in six-bottle cases (£106.92), under natural cork at 13.5% ABV; Svinando UK carries the same release at £16.90.
How Le Grade scores as an Italian wine pick
Six dimensions scored for this bottle: a saline, unoaked DOCG white at £17.82 lands as a food-first buy with real short-term cellar interest rather than a trophy.
Citrus acidity, saline minerality and a smooth mid-weight palate span raw fish to roast chicken; the 2025 datasheets themselves list sushi, soft cheeses and white meats.
A classic, aromatic expression of an indigenous Campanian grape at 13.5% with no oak; the saline register is the only step beyond its friendly pear and honey fruit.
Editorial read while price_aggregate is empty: £16.90 to £17.82 UK pricing sits mid-band for single-site Fiano di Avellino DOCG (Feudi's cru bottlings run £16.90 to £23) against a 3.8 Vivino average from 968 ratings.
Ready on release, unoaked and food-flexible, though £17.82 sits at the top of everyday territory for a midweek white.
Scoring is rule-based and deterministic. The model and weightings are documented in our Wine Fit Score methodology.

Perfect Pairings
Dishes that complement this wine
What to eat with a saline Fiano like Le Grade
The 2025 sheet names sushi, soft cheeses and white meats, and Vivino's crowd adds shellfish. The matches below follow the wine's three levers: citrus acidity, tufo salinity and the almond-and-honey bouquet.
Raw fish, sushi and crudo
Citrus-fresh acidity and the saline finish of tufo-grown Fiano do what soy and lemon ask of a white: cleanse and season at once. The 2025 datasheets name sushi and lime-marinated yellowtail tartare outright.
Try with: Sashimi · Nigiri Sushi · Crab · More pairings →
Fried seafood and batter
Whole-bunch pressing keeps Le Grade's acid line firm, and 13.5% gives it enough body for frying oil. The citrus cut scrubs batter fat while the salty mineral streak seasons like a squeeze of lemon.
Try with: Prawn Tempura · Fish and Chips · Gnocco fritto
Fresh mozzarella and Irpinia cheeses
Acacia honey and toasted almond in the bouquet bridge into milky, lactic sweetness. Soft cheeses sit on the 2025 tasting sheet, and Italian merchants pair it with Caciocavallo podolico, Irpinia's benchmark cow's-milk cheese.
Try with: Insalata Caprese · buffalo mozzarella · smoked scamorza · More pairings →
Roast chicken and white meats
Medium body, a smooth lees-fed texture and a warm 13.5% frame let this Fiano sit beside roast birds without thinning out, while its freshness lifts the fat in crisp skin. Roasted white meats appear on both UK datasheets for the 2025.
Try with: Roast chicken · lemon-roast poussin · grilled courgettes · More pairings →
Shellfish pasta and saline plates
Minerals, honey and salt lead the drinker consensus from 968 Vivino ratings, and that saline vein meets shellfish brine head on: sweet crab and clam juices taste sweeter against Fiano grown on volcanic-flecked clay.
Try with: Fregula ai frutti di mare · Squid ink risotto · Crab · More pairings →
Hot chilli and heavy sweet-sour sauces
Capsaicin heat turns 13.5% alcohol into burn and flattens Le Grade's almond and acacia-honey aromatics, while thick sweet-sour glazes swamp the dry, saline finish. Pour an off-dry aromatic white with these and keep the Fiano for the raw bar.
Skip with: chicken madras · Szechuan chicken · sweet and sour dipping sauces · Pairing guide →
Keeping Le Grade: the three-to-eight-year arc
Not a riserva. Retail datasheets give it 3 to 4 years of storage, while the estate profile stretches the arc to eight, when pear and apricot fold into honey, chamomile and a faint hydrocarbon note.
Best in the years above; holds without falling over either side.
A short splash decant softens the first-pour edge and opens the aromatics.
Steel-only with about three months on lees and no DOCG ageing mandate, but retailer datasheets give it 3 to 4 years and the estate arc stretches to 8 as honey and chamomile develop.
£17.82 is the lowest tracked offer for the current vintage and we have no signal of further discounting.

Common Questions
Expect Williams pear, candied apricot and lemongrass over toasted almond and acacia honey, the register both UK datasheets list for the 2025. The palate is dry and smooth with the saline, mineral spine of Fiano grown on the tufaceous clays at San Potito Ultra; across 968 Vivino ratings, minerality is the note drinkers mention most.
From Vinosia's Le Grade site in the hills of San Potito Ultra, one of the 26 Avellino-province communes written into the Fiano di Avellino DOCG zone. The Guyot-trained vines sit at around 500 metres on clay flecked with volcanic material, planted at about 5,000 vines per hectare, and the wine is bottled at origin at the family cellar in Paternopoli.
No. The 2025 release sheets describe whole-bunch pressing, cold static settling and about three months in stainless steel on fine lees, so there is no barrel influence; freshness and salinity lead instead of oak.
Drink it from release over three to five years. European retailer datasheets give it 3 to 4 years of storage potential, while the estate profile stretches the arc to eight, when honey and chamomile notes emerge; the 2025 should show well through 2030.
The 2025 vintage. Eurowines lists it at £106.92 for a six-bottle case, which is £17.82 a bottle including VAT, sealed under natural cork at 13.5% ABV; Svinando UK carries the same release at £16.90.
Raw and delicate seafood first: the 2025 note names sushi alongside soft cheeses and white meats, and Vivino's crowd votes shellfish. Its acidity and saline finish also suit fregula with seafood, mozzarella-based antipasti and simple roast chicken.
