Current status

Young and fresh, approachable now but benefits from short-term cellaring

Current condition

Currently showing lively acidity with fresh citrus and stone fruit notes

Fiano is a white grape known for floral aromatics and vibrant acidity, which allows moderate aging. The 2020 vintage with good acidity and structure will show best drinking pleasure between 3 to 5 years after release before fresh fruit notes start fading.

Food pairing

Pairs well with seafood, light poultry dishes, fresh salads, and soft cheeses. Also great with Mediterranean cuisine and lightly spiced dishes.
