Current condition

Good drinking with developed texture and balanced acidity

Fiano wines typically do not require extensive aging. Given the 2014 vintage and wine style, this wine reached its peak between 3-7 years after release. The moderate alcohol, vibrant acidity and dry style support medium-term cellaring but not long aging.

Food pairing

Pairs well with grilled seafood, roasted chicken, light pasta dishes, and fresh goat cheese. Its medium body and zesty acidity complement Mediterranean and Asian cuisine.
