Tasting Notes: Vino della Stella comes from a 0.9-hectare parcel of Fiano between 20 and 30 years of age planted in the commune of Lapio’s volcanic clay-limestone soils. Situated in the far eastern reaches of the Fiano di Avellino appellation, Lapio is where Fiano originated, and it is considered not only the variety’s spiritual home but its greatest terroir. Lapio’s cool microclimate, high altitude, and huge diurnal temperature shifts allow for Fiano of exceptional precision and complexity, and Joaquin’s combines those traits with a magnificently concentrated palate which swells dramatically on the finish. Vino della Stella spends eight months on its fine lees in steel and fiberglass without temperature control, and it undergoes an additional stint in bottle before release—a purposeful delay which allows the variety’s youthful floral aromatics to subside a bit while its signature note of toast begins to emerge.

Estate History: Since his start in the early 2000s, Raffaele Pagano has become a Campanian wine maverick. Producing 18,000 bottles annually with a profound devotion to preserving the land, Raffaele nurtures his extraordinarily old plant material, creating wines of incomparable depth. Raffaele believes in minimal technological interference, using very few sulfur additions and abstaining from filtration, outside yeasts, temperature control, new oak, and avoids chemicals in the vineyards at all costs.

Joaquin encompasses three and a half hectares in Irpinia and Capri.  Many of his Fiano and Aglianico vines in Lapio and Paternopoli approach 100 - 200 years of age. He has also co-planted Greco, Falanghina, and Biancolella on Capri off the Amalfi Coast within an 0.8-hectare parcel, where only 20 hectares of vines exist in total. Joaquin was named after the French-Spanish Bourbon dynasty which pioneered Campania’s gastronomic viticultural life in the pre-unification era.
