Fiano

The grapes come from vineyards in Gallura at altitudes of 250 to 350 metres, trained using the Guyot system on wire trellises. The wine is made as a single-variety wine using white-wine vinification. Fermentation is temperature-controlled between 0 and 10 °C and lasts around one month. The wine then matures for eight months in stainless steel on the fine lees at below 0 °C, followed by a further ten months in bottle. In the glass it is straw yellow with golden highlights. Its aroma combines citrus fruit, orange blossom, lime blossom and toasted hazelnut; on the palate it is soft, intense and persistent. A particular feature is the explicitly terroir-focused experimental plot planted with Fiano in Sardinia. Source: official product page; vintage and alcohol: My Wine Repository.
