Hailing from coastal vineyards south of Naples, Maffini’s fiano is a lovely example of the grape, with a rich, waxy texture and heady aromas of wild flowers, apricot, lemon and lime.Will Lyons, The Sunday Times (Feb 2022)

From coastal vineyards just south of Naples, this is a beautiful expression of the charms of the ancient local white variety, fiano. With notes of fennel and leafy herb behind ripe white peach, it’s intoxicatingly aromatic, sumptuously rich, yet vivacious. Top Wines For Christmas 2021.David Williams, The Observer (Nov 2021)

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.
