Pietracalda labeling
The published 2024 wine is Fiano di Avellino DOCG Riserva, made from Fiano. Rather than only memorizing the brand name Pietracalda, read the names of the variety and region included in the appellation separately.
Labeling for Cutizzi
The published 2024 wine is Greco di Tufo DOCG Riserva, made from the Greco grape. Even other whites from the same producer are not alternate names for Fiano. Even if the label name is short, the underlying appellation and grape origin differ.
The same figure for the same year can mean a different wine
The official webpage shows the alcohol for Pietracalda 2024 as 13.0% and for Cutizzi 2024 as 12.5%. This difference is not seen as an inevitable result of the varieties alone; rather, it is recorded as a specification for each vintage. For different vintages, check the materials for that year.
