So what smells do we find? What aromas do we find with the fiano? Oh, what's the bearings? Or No flavors. Lemon. Saffron. Yeah. Okay. And what drink it. If we open a bottle of, fiano Divalino white wine, it's a dry white wine. What will we drink that with? What does a local dish from, Avelino or Campana that we would drink it with? In my personal opinion, the raw fish. Raw fish. Yeah. Prepared with what, with a bit of olive or with a vinegar? Or Yeah. It'd be some some spicy. No. No. Some herbs, lime. Yes. But the roof is just the perfect pairing with the fernanda willino. Now, we're gonna talk about the equity too. What is, Reco. Greco is another local grape, white grape from Tufo. In fact, the name of the denomination is Greco Dufo, and the Tufo is another little villa in Elpina. Greco is, a niche and grip, from the manja Greza. And, it's a very sweet, very intense, indeed.

And the grape of Taurasi is Ayanico. Ayanico It's a very typical organic with a red grape, and it's a very strong grape rich in tannins. So it's a very strong red wine. So if I come and visit and open or you open a bottle of Razi for me, which is a red allianic or best wine. What is the perfect dish for that in your view? I think, of course, red meats and in particular lamb. Lam. So do you prefer, young lamb, like, when it's just very kind of soft and milky, or you, an animal that's a little bit older?

We have a lot of, countries where we export our wine. So the name of the wine is Quinto Deschimo. What does Quinto Deschimo mean? Quintodetimo means, fifteen because, the village where the winery is located today is Mirabella Eclano, and it was a village founded by the longer parts population. So I'm I'm talking about the ancient population of the before middle aid. They founded these villages, and they gave to the villages numeric names because the numeric name indicated that the distance from the beloved and the main city of the area that's at that time was Benamento. Benamento. Yeah. So Quinto decimal is fifteen. Right. So, Quinto is five and dash mode is ten. Yeah. In in Latin was Quintum Desi moma. So it's the ancient name of the village.
