2023 Hilltops Fiano
One of the great Italian white varieties that hails from Campania, near Rome. More on the richer side of the styles Fiano can create but still lovely acidity and fragrance.
Fiano has layers of lemony citrus with a touch of white peach and an almondy finish.

Ravensworth 2022 Fiano + Trebbiano
"This is super savoury, textural and phenolic. Good white phenolics though, which add shape, mouthfeel and detail throughout. Lots going on with preserved lemon, salted limes and a raft of spices, ginger and coriander especially. Very dry and very appealing, with food though, please"
