“The Quintodecimo 2020 Irpinia Grande Cuvée Luigi Moio is a carefully contemplated blend of 40% Fiano, 40% Greco and 20% Falanghina (with percentages that will change according to vintage). Only 4,600 bottles were produced in this inaugural vintage, and this wine is hitting the market now, following 14 months of bottle age. The idea was to create a "super" blended white that could represent the best of southern Italy, and these results are simply terrific. Some 60% of the wine is fermented in oak, and the blend is submitted to regular stirring of the lees. The wine is velvety rich in texture with silky fruit weight and lasting sensations of summer peach, quince, acacia honey and fragrant tuberose. All that beauty is tightly framed by etched notes of salinity or crushed seashell. This is an outstanding effort.”
