Native to the southern Italian region of Campania and once upon a time an almost extinct grape variety, Fiano finds in Clare Valley the perfect growing conditions and a terrroir very similar to its homeland. A privileged location with some continental influence and altitude, together with a good site selection, result in wines with strong varietal characteristics and able to keep the variety’s trademark crispy acidity.
Textural with concentrated and delicious lifted tropical lychee and peach flavours, balanced with grassy herbal notes and a creamy yet crisp finish.
At the optimum ripeness, the fruit was harvested and delivered to the winery in the cool of the morning. The fruit was crushed immediately, pressed and cold settled. Following juice clarification and a careful and steady fermentation, the wine spent 7 months in contact with the light lees with some battonage in order to build richness and texture on the palate. A small portion of the blend was fermented and aged in second use French oak barrels and blended back with the main portion for bottling.
