SCARIAZZO is a “single vineyard” white wine made from the FIANO grape. Fiano is a varietal grape indigenous from Irpinia area, which was known as the Apiana grape, since bees (api) preferred it for its sweetness.The vines are trained and the wi- ne is made in strict accord with Rivera’s long experience and its determination that the wine be the authentic expression of its variety and of its terroir.
The wine is named SCARIAZZO for the traditional local barrel- vaulted building used to pen sheep. These constructions, which served as stopping-places for the flocks during their annual transhumance movements, were emblematic of the pastoral economy that flourished in northern Puglia until the late 19th century. Limited production: 6000 bottles per vintage.
