Perfumed and fresh with peach and apricot, wild flowers, touch of lime. Palate is zesty with lime juice, peach flesh, mineral, crisp acid but generous fruit extract, gently perfumed very satisfying. This is the first vintage that is certified Organic. L&S (Apr 2016)

Rather sweet nose. I am urged to give the wine two or three years more in bottle by the owner. Very racy on the palate - much more nerve that most Fianos. Really fine and refined. Must admit I could enjoy it already. Drinking range: 2016 - 2019 Rating: 16.5 Jancis Robinson OBE MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (Sept 2016)
Luigi Maffini
Luigi Maffini's vineyards are on the coast of Campania, south of Naples, across the bay from Positano, and planted with the local grapes, Fiano for the whites and Aglianico for the reds. While the family's first vines were planted in the seventies, the real beginning of this winery dates from 1996.
Luigi and his wife Raffaella are both graduates of Naples university in agricultural sciences. Luigi specialised in viticulture and winemaking. Ten years elapsed between our first tasting of his wines and getting Luigi 'on board', but he has now been with L&S since 2009.
Raffaella and Luigi run the vineyards organically, and share the land with their two children and three dogs, as well as hares, foxes, hedgehogs, hawks and wild boar, with which they are happy to live in peace. There are now two vineyard sites, at Castellabate and Giungano, so some of the wines are DOC Cilento and some DOC Paestum.
