The 2019 Fiano Terre di Dora impresses with dried flowers, incense and almond paste complemented by peach and mango notes. Silky contours usher in mineral-tinged white stone fruits, zesty green citrus and exotic spice. While gorgeous already, the 2019 offers good near-potential. $19.00 (Eric Guido, Vinous, September 2021)

Who says Italian whites can’t age? Such a great interplay between subtle, filigreed minerality and the luscious, almost exotic Fiano thing. Palate-coating and still showing a good 5-7 more years of pleasure to come.

Over oaked and over priced.

I've always had good luck with this wine. There's some sweet fruit but it's balanced by good acidity and hints of smoky herbs.

Really one of my favorites. Inexpensive Italian white this ages gracefully. Peachy honeysuckle flavors. Golden color. Just great.

Nice rounded honey notes with a hint of lemon. Good value for the money. A nice aperitif wine.

Honey, pears, blue cheese, toasted hazelnuts, expressive, yet dry. I don't know if it was supposed to taste this way but I'll take it.

Luscious mouth feel yet refreshing and dry. Honeysuckle and citrus complementing one another with a lovely mineral backbone.
