Serious Fiano example. Some time on the skins. Almost too much structure, but balanced by refreshing acidity. Went down fast! Other vintages of this have shown more ashy flavors; this is more herbal.

Wow
So much going on
Multilayered
From dried fruit to peanut butter
Banana cake and star anise
Hazelnut spread and basil
White liquorice
Persimmon
Minerality
Personality
It could remind of an old semillon or Sancerre

First time trying this one. With Jun&Dalecia at Caruso in Ravello -- most beautiful gardens "closer to sky than the sea"

Super concentrated, focused, structured, complex, complete, dense, age-worthy Fiano. Can we all agree Fiano is Italy's greatest white?

This must be oxidized because it neither smells nor tastes right. Bitter, grapey, and tangy. Such a shame because I was looking forward to this.

Well made, but little fruit to balance out the almost harsh minerality.
