Azienda Agricola Morella, "Mezzogiorno" Bianco Salento IGP, Puglia, Italy 2020
{biodynamic} 100% Fiano
STONE FRUIT & SULTANA. FIRM, BEAUTIFULLY BALANCED
Fiano is a living legend. Drawing on 800 years of praise in Campania and Puglia, the variety is beginning to rise again as a contender for the greatest white in southern Italy. Its broad frame, vibrant acidity, and generous perfume make it a real head-turner. This example from Morella’s Lisa Gilbee, an Australian whose viticultural experience in both Australia and Italy dates back to the early 90’s, is captivating but stops shy of decadence with restraint.
Serving Suggestion: Pasta w/ calamari, tomato sauce, & ricotta. Cumin chickpea salad w/ spicy cilantro-mint chutney.
