Fiano

Fiano is a variety we've lusted over for a long time, and in the last few years have had the opportunity to work with in new exciting ways. Set to become a mainstay in the Hell range, upon receiving the fruit into the winery, we split it into two parcels - half was pressed off straight into barrel for fermentation, the other half in stainless steel. Elevage in a combination of Slavonian oak foudre and neutral French barriques before final blending and bottling. 

All white floral, jasmine flower and honeysuckle on the nose, the palate opens up into a candied citrus dream - blood orange juiciness and acid offset but a well developed, deep fruit feel. Fuzzy mouthfeel from the barrel fermentation and time on lees interplays well with the acid to provide glorious length. Drinks fantastically with fatty, oily, salty food - fried zucchini flowers, or sweet and sour pork.
