Dinner at Enoteca Restaurant (Halandri - Athens - Greece), with my friend Vassilis. My first contact with Fiano grape variety. Straw yellow with amber hues. When poured into the glasses I could feel the high level of acidity. Ripe melon, peaches, iron, burnt sugar and chalk, both on the nose and palate. Persistent aftertaste. Can be enjoyed for the next two years. Strange wine, to pair with simple italian dishes as a risotto a la milanese.

Medium pale yellow with butterscotch and peaches on the nose. Medium body and very soft with green apples, lettuce, and lemon citrus on a short, dry finish.

Light yellow. Light nose of honey, citrus, slate, hay. Plenty of acidity, medium bodied good density of fruit with more pear and citrus on the slightly bitter finish. Short-medium length. Very enjoyable.

Light yellow color, bordering on golden. Not much coming through on the nose other than some faint floral notes and some tart apple. Nice, crisp wine on the palate with good zinging acidity. Not a whole lot of flavors jumping out but the wine was drank a bit too cold. All in all a solid bottle of white, definitely better than your average pinot grigio and worth trying. I would rebuy.

Light yellow. Aroma of hay and honeysuckle. Fresh, with a forceful mid-palate, and a balanced, mineral finish. Short-medium length.
