Veliandro
Sannio Fiano
DOP
History and Identity
A nurturing wind, a cluster that grows.
For our family, Veliandro is the Taburno wind that caresses the oleanders, carrying with it their secret fragrance. Each cluster is born from its passage: a warm breath that brushes the flowers and imparts character to the land. Where Fiano is cultivated, Veliandro blows more often, ripening the grapes with a distinctive character: intense aromas, gentle warmth, and a strength drawn not only from the soil but also from the air. A Fiano that gradually reveals itself, never fully exposed.
