2023 "So Well Then" Fiano

ANOTHER ASPECT OF WHAT WE DO IS EXPLORE VARIETIES THAT SHOULD SUIT OUR WARMING CLIMATE AND OUR NORTHERN REGIONS. FIANO IS A SMALL BERRIED, LOW YEILDING GRAPE THAT HAILS FROM THE (WARMER) SOUTHERN PARTS OF ITALY - NAMELY CAMPAGNIA AND SICILY.  IT HAS PLENTY OF FLAVOUR, TEXTURE AND NATURAL ACIDITY. 

SHORT SKIN CONTACT BEFORE A HIGH SOLIDS NATURAL BARREL FERMENT IN OLD BARRIQUE.  A SHORT MATURATION TO FLESH OUT A LITTLE BUT NOT TOO MUCH. THIS WINE IS BRIMMING WITH BRIGHT CITRUS, FLORALS AND A LICK OF DRIED HERB, LOTS OF TEXTURE WITH BRIGHT ACIDITY PULLING IT ALL TOGETHER.
