This wine is full of aromas of white peaches, ripe pears, nectarines and a touch of jasmine. It has a racy acidity lifting the ripe fruit. The body is full and satisfying with a fresh acidity and a light spritz from the cool, long fermentation.
The A Mano Fiano and Greco vineyards are situated in Valle d’Itria, in the heart of Puglia. The valley provides a constant airflow from the Adriatic Sea to the warmer interior regions of Puglia. The fresh breezes lower the night time temperatures, encouraging the development of the lovely perfumes in the grapes. The soils are well-drained on a soft rock base. This wine is made from the Fiano Minutolo clone from Puglia, which resembles Riesling or Viognier, as opposed to the Fiano di Avellino which is used to make the DOC wines from Campania.
Puglia experienced an extremely cold winter and incredibly hot summer in 2017. Yields are down at least 30% on average. The harvest began much earlier than usual – on 10th August. The grapes were healthy, ripe and in excellent condition at picking.
Ripe grapes were pressed and fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks for 10 weeks. A small portion of the Fiano grapes were dried until the end of October, after which they were pressed and the juice was blended into the wine at the very end of fermentation.
