Marchese di Borgosole
Puglia Fiano
Puglia, Italy
A new Italian white for me. No minerality, very very smooth for a white, creamy lemon curd

Marchese di Borgosole – Fiano – 2024
Puglia IGT – Puglia – Italy 🇮🇹
Overview
A fresh and approachable expression of Fiano from Puglia, showcasing the grape in a lighter, more casual style compared to its often more structured Campanian counterparts. This version leans into drinkability and immediate appeal, delivering vibrant fruit and clean balance while maintaining varietal character.
Aromas & Flavors
Juicy stone fruit, ripe pear, and citrus lead the profile, followed by hints of tropical notes and delicate floral tones. A subtle nutty and herbal edge adds dimension without overpowering the fruit-forward nature.
Mouthfeel
Light- to medium-bodied with refreshing acidity and a smooth, easygoing texture. Clean, lively, and pleasantly rounded, finishing with a crisp and satisfying lift.
Food Pairings
Grilled seafood, light pasta, fresh salads, antipasti, or soft cheeses. Also works beautifully as a standalone sipper.
Verdict
A charming, fruit-driven Fiano that prioritizes accessibility and enjoyment. Not built for depth or aging, but absolutely delivers on freshness and immediate pleasure.
Did You Know?
Fiano originates from Campania, where it often shows more structure and aging potential. In southern regions like Puglia, it tends to express a more open, fruit-forward, and easy-drinking personality.
🍷 Personal Pick
A “pleasant surprise” bottle that overdelivers in the casual category, juicy, clean, and dangerously easy to keep pouring.

Pale gold in color; honeydew, pear, and orange peel on the nose; high acidity; tastes like lemon zest, pears, and saline with a long finish. Nellie likes it and I do too.

Prickle on the tongue, high acidity. Kiwi and green melon tasting notes. Initial taste was earthy and very green. Immediately enjoyed. Was not paired with anything, just an easy sunny-gardening afternoon drink.

Dry Italian white. Mild-medium acid. Straw, apricots. Made pasta with a white wine, garlic, artichoke, capers and it paired well. But it is magical with parmesan.
