The 2007 Fiano di Avellino Radici presents a slightly darker profile of earthiness, minerals, scorched earth, tar and game. Here, too, the wine shows excellent density and gorgeous balance in a slightly more expansive style than the focused Greco. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2011. This is an impressive range of wines from Mastroberardino, one of Campania's historic properties.Importer: A Leonardo Lo Cascio Selection, Winebow, Montvale, NJ; tel. (201) 445-0620

This supple and smooth Fiano delivers notes of pear, Golden Delicious apple and yellow melon. The wine is layered and complex thanks to the mineral nuances that accompany it to the end. It is also chewy, naturally robust and promises an excellent match to lobster, crab or baked clams.——M.L.(10/1/2008)—— 90
