Description
What kind of wine it is
Vino della Stella Riserva by Joaquin is a still white wine made from Fiano grapes, an authentic expression of Fiano di Avellino. In the glass, it displays an intense straw yellow colour with bright golden highlights. The aromatic profile stands out for its clear notes of apricot, melon and ripe tropical fruit, intertwined with hints of honey and touches of dried fruit. On the palate, it reveals a full body and a marked minerality, offering a structured and persistent sip, characterised by the typical and pleasant almondy finish.
Where it comes from
This wine originates in Campania, in the heart of Irpinia, a region historically renowned for the production of Fiano di Avellino. In Montefalcione, the Joaquin winery is dedicated to enhancing native grape varieties such as Fiano, Aglianico and Greco. The Irpinian soils give these grapes a strong territorial character, supporting the natural predisposition of the variety for long ageing. This agronomic and production approach results in white wines of remarkable depth, capable of developing a high evolutionary capacity over the years.
How it is produced
The grapes are processed through temperature-controlled fermentation, essential for maintaining a clear and well-defined organoleptic profile. The wine then undergoes a brief maturation in barrel, useful for consolidating the structure and ensuring longevity without overpowering the primary aromas. The vinification cycle concludes with an ageing period of about six months in glass, a necessary time to balance the components and integrate the flavour framework, achieving a final result of great clarity, balance and harmony.

The story began in 1999, when Raffaele Pagano decided to express his opinions on ancient grapes, starting to work on Fiano, Aglianico and Greco, the standard bearer of a territory, Irpinia, dedicated to the viticulture of excellence. Land, this, where the predominance of the thermal excursions, the volcanicity of the soil, the minerality, the peculiarity of the climate, favors high evolutions for white wines and where the cold of its hills generates reds of strength and extreme elegance. Uniqueness of a Wine, therefore, experience of a territory.
"From the beginning, we wanted to look for these grapes, their best expression, giving a meaning, a subjective interpretation to the word" VINIFICATION. "The thought is simple, it is direct, the idea is to produce unique pieces.
We produce, if there are the conditions of vintage, if mother nature allows us. To do this we have a "Bunker" ... the Cellar. A huge space, for the bottles to be produced, but useful for the refinements, so that the permanence of whites and reds, both in wood and in glass, is complete ... long ". Read more
