Nice complex nose with citrus peel, apple, and some floral notes. Green apple, lime, herbs and minerality on the palate. Medium acid, medium body, and a medium minerally finish.

Medium straw color; a touch of lime citrus on the nose. Complex tart fruit notes up front: lime, mango and passion fruit, but there is a ton of oily (in a good way) minerality here as well. Despite the fruit on the front end, the interest this wine holds rests primarily upon the complex savory notes that defined the mid-palate and finish. Solid effort, and it is developing nicely.

Herbaceous, creamy & crisp style. Med lemon. Pronounced. Green apple, lime, grass, mint, cream. Wet stones, hints of petrol. Chalky. High acidity, med alcohol (13,5%), med body. Long and fresh finish.
Agglomerate cork

Medium straw color; light citrus/lemon blossom nose. Fantastic silky mouthfeel, quite distinctive. Notes of custard, pear, apple and a distinctive saline minerality dominate. This is a complex wine that rewards patient sipping as it evolves in the glass.
The only problem, as I see it, is that I am not exercising enough patience to refrain from drinking some of my bottles. I suspect that this wine has several years of development ahead of it, but it is hard to resist right now. I will try to stay strong!

Absolute mind bender of a wine. The best Fiano I’ve had and if money was never an issue I would buy a case a year. Yes it isn’t a cheap wine but it’s worth every penny just for the oily nuance that never once feels fat as Fiano occasionally can. Cellar it or drink it. It will never disappoint.

I agree with user PATRICKOMATIC. I recall some more alcohol and lower acidity than desired. Moreover, compared to the Fiano by San Salvatore, less refined wine. It seems to appeal to more simple fruitier style of white. I acknowledge that my note is quite in disagreement with other notes below that thought this is a great wine. I could not appreciate any crispness in the sense of lively acidity nor any substantial minerality. Unfortunately, I do not have additional bottles in the cellar to try.

First bottle from a recent full case purchase. Very pale light amber-tinged color; White flower nose. Lucious mouthfeel, almost velvety. Delicious crisp fruit up front: pear, apple, peach and lemon confit. All of this against a moderately mineral mid-palate and slightly flinty back-end. What a delicious wine! Easily the best Fiano I’ve ever had. Can’t wait to follow it in the coming years, although it will be difficult to keep my hands off of these bottles.
In order to ensure that I have enough supply to follow it in the coming years, I just bought a second case!

Delicious. A combination of honeyed peach, lemon, and a saline minerality. Tightly coiled, really vibrant acidity, textured. Enjoyable now with food, but this almost feels like infanticide. Its peak drinking window would probably be seven to eight years from vintage.
Edited to add: Mlre yellow orchard fruit as it warms in the glass.

Sitting on a restaurant patio with some calamari, tonnato, and a bottle of Fiano makes for a really good summer day! This wine is delicious - probably the best Fiano I've had in several years - though a little pricey for the varietal. Aged on the lees in stainless steel.

Nothing bad but also doesn’t have anything that stands out strongly.
