The nose presents dried yellow apricot, peach and freshly sliced pear with honeysuckle, crushed stone and incense joining in. Flavors of crème brûlée, jasmine blossom and fresh apricots continue the opulence, yet the orchard fruits are nicely balanced by minerality and hints of almond. This full-bodied white is structured, providing interesting contrast to its density.

“This young estate, founded in 1994, is the source of one of the finest Fianos made today, if not the best one. The perfectly situated vineyards, at about 500 meters above sea level on highly calcareous clay soil and benefiting from wide day-night temperature differences, would rate grand cru status if such a classification scheme existed in Italy.”  – Stephen Tanzer’s International Wine Cellar
