IN STOCK

Colour White
Origin Italy, Campania

ABV 13.5%

Airy and fresh, the 2023 Fiano Pietraincatenata wafts up with a dusty blend of dried flowers, shavings of ginger and peach sorbet. It is opulent upon entry, with silken textures, yet quickly builds as a core of salty minerals mixes with tart green apple and a twang of sharply tuned citrus fruits. The 2023 shows remarkable depth and complexity, leaving a lemony concentration that puckers the cheeks as a saline flourish lingers on. While already thrilling to taste today, the Pietraincatenata is built for the cellar. Drinking range: 2025 - 2032 Rating: 94 Antonio Galloni, www.vinous.com (Sept 2025)

More of that creamy mushroom, waxiness, with fatter lemon fruit and a bit of the wood aging element. Gorgeous energy in the mouth, beautiful fruit intensity, citrus and papaya, mouthwatering, with intensity and length in the mouth.L&S (Apr 2025)

Luigi's Top White comes from a single vineyard, north-west-facing and with more clay here than the Kratos vineyards. Fermentation for the Pietraincatenata starts in tank but then finishes - and ages for 3–4 months in barrel on the lees.L&S (Mar 2025)

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.
