It was the Greeks who brought the original Fiano vine, the Vitis Apicia, to Italy: the first vines were planted in Lapio, a place that took its name from the grape, the town where Fiano is still produced. This wine much appreciated already in the Middle Ages, has a millenary origin. Charles of Anjou also had to love good wine, to the point of planting 16,000 Fiano vines in his royal vineyard.
