Puglia is making significant strides with the Fiano grape, and this 2023 vintage, made from 100 percent Fiano, is a standout example of the variety’s crisp, uncomplicated character. The bouquet reveals enticing layers of ripe pear, mango, and a subtle hint of toasted almond. On the palate, the wine strikes the perfect balance of intensity and persistence, while still maintaining its approachable, easy-drinking appeal.
