2024 Fiano

100% Fiano

Richly textured wine does not have to be fat and oaky. It also doesn’t have to be messed up with oxidized and bitter flavors from skin contact. It can just be compellingly fresh and full-bodied, which is exactly how I would describe our 2024 Fiano.

Fiano is consistently heralded as one of Italy’s best wines, as evidenced by the fact that it is one of the few white wines given a DOCG classification. Fiano has very distinct pear, honey and hazelnut aromas and flavors. Its' thick skins add a dimension of weight, but the acidity keeps it fresh and lively. This is especially true in Dry Creek Valley, where we experience cooler evening temperatures than they do in Campania.

Jason and our vineyard crew have really honed in on when to harvest our Fiano, which was on September 11, 2024. The vintage features ripe and classic Fiano characteristics, while the acidity is still solid. Jason’s winemaking approach is like all of our whites, fermented and aged in stainless steel or concrete with no malolactic fermentation. Fiano is one of my favorite white wines, and it has clearly found a home in California. - MU
