Fiorano Bianco
Fiorano Bianco is blend of the wineries best bunches of Grechetto and Voignier. This wine ages ‘sur lies’ giving it a generous and round mouthfeel. A world-class white with a unique volcanic minerality and great aging potential..
Appellation: Lazio IGT
Type: White, dry
Blend: Approximately 50% Grechetto and 50% Viognier (varies with vintage)
Color: Clear golden yellow.
Bouquet: Surprisingly complex aromas, mineral, intense yet elegant, with orchard fruit. There is white peach, medlar* and perhaps some fresh almond, along with flint and gentian flower.
Taste: The flavor is balanced, soft, piquant and perfectly upheld by a brackish, Mediterranean acidity.
Alcohol: 13%.
Serving Temperature: 10/12 C° (50-54º F).
Pairing: Great with a charcuterie and cheese platter, Batutta, Vitello Tonnato, Lattuga and Burrata salads. Splendid with buttery or creamy pasta sauces, Cacio e pepe or Carbonara.
* Medlar is in the rose family and has been cultivated since Roman times - the flavor is close to a bit of toffee with apple.
Production Area: Colli Albani, Roma.
Soil: Volcanic, pozzolanic with volcanic ashes deposited by the nearby and enormous Latium Volcano.
Exposure: Southwestern/northeastern, which allows the grapes to receive constant sunlight throughout the day and to be exposed to breezes from both the nearby sea and the Alban Hills.
Cultivation: Spur-trained.
Aging: This wine ages ‘sur lies’ in large oak and chestnut barrels.
