Which exotic grape variety from Campania makes luscious, full-bodied, floral white wines with pear and honey-spice flavors?

• A. Sangiovese-red
• B. Nebbiolo-red
• C. Fiano-white
• D. Verdicchio

Answer: (C)

Fiano is Campania’s signature white grape, known for lush, full-bodied wines with a lively floral aroma and flavors of pear, along with honeyed, spice-like notes as they age. This combination—full body, floral lift, and pear-honey-spice character—matches the description perfectly.

The other options don’t fit the Campanian white profile. Sangiovese and Nebbiolo are red grapes from other regions (Tuscany and Piedmont), so they wouldn’t produce the described white wine. Verdicchio is a white from Marche with citrusy, almond-like character and a lighter, more zesty style, not the same honeyed, full-bodied profile associated with Campanian Fiano.
