Winemaking Notes
The 2020 Fiano was crafted using traditional family techniques, with a focus on achieving optimal ripeness. The grapes were carefully hand-harvested once the skins and seeds exhibited the desired flavor and tannin qualities. Following destemming, the must was left to cold soak on the skins for 12 hours before undergoing an extended pressing period. The juice was then transferred into seasoned French oak barriques and fermented using indigenous yeast. After malolactic fermentation, the wine was kept on lees until it was racked prior to bottling. The wine was bottled naturally, without fining or filtering, using gravity.
