Description
What type of wine it is
Joaquin's Vino della Stella Riserva is a white wine produced in Campania using Fiano grapes. An authentic expression of the prestigious Fiano di Avellino denomination, this white stands out for its rich aromatic profile, with notes of apricot, pineapple, melon and hints of honey. On the palate, it is full-bodied and structured, characterised by a marked minerality and an elegant almond finish. Its production involves a short maceration on the skins and a delicate passage in wood, elements that give the sip a remarkable evolutionary capacity and great organoleptic balance.
Where it comes from
This white comes to life in Montefalcione, in the heart of Irpinia, a sub-area of Campania historically dedicated to viticulture. The Fiano vines are grown using the espalier system on clayey and limestone soils, a geological composition fundamental for conveying a deep mineral imprint to the grapes. The particular microclimate of this territory supports the natural predisposition of the varietal for long ageing. Since 1999, the objective in this precise Irpinia wine-growing area has been to enhance historical varieties, creating wines that faithfully reflect the characteristics of the terroir of origin.
How it is produced
The production process begins with a temperature-controlled fermentation and a partial malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks, accompanied by a two-day maceration on the skins. This technique ensures the preservation of primary aromas, providing body and intensity. Subsequently, the wine undergoes tartaric stabilisation strictly without filtration, keeping its integrity intact. The cellar cycle concludes with a brief maturation in barrels and a final refinement of about six months in the bottle, essential steps to integrate the gustatory architecture and ensure excellent ageing potential over time.
History and interesting facts
The Joaquin winery project began in Montefalcione in 1999, with the aim of promoting the ancient native grape varieties of Irpinia. The Vino della Stella Riserva embodies this philosophy, focusing on the enhancement of the Fiano grapes grown in this Campanian territory. The winery is dedicated to the ultimate expression of Fiano, preserving its characteristic minerality and encouraging ageing. The Fiano di Avellino DOCG is distinguished by its potential for evolution in the bottle.

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
