A fine expression from a warmer year. Peach, raw almond, apricot pith and a noble quinine bitterness, straddle an inherent ripeness. A corralling cleft of saltiness and stream of gentle, maritime freshness. Consummate poise, the result. There is always a tendency toward excess in vintages such as this. The winners are those that avoid it. Here, an example. Drink now. NED GOODWIN MW, JamesSuckling.com
Clelia Romano took over her family’s vineyards in 1994 and makes what many consider to be Italy’s best Fiano. Ian D’Agata, noted Italian wine author, says “Fiano may well be Italy’s greatest native white grape” and Colli di Lapio “arguably Italy’s single best white wine”. The vineyards are around 500 metres and well protected from the surrounding mountains, bringing cool nights that allow for late ripening.
