Fiano
Fiano is a grape variety that hails from southern Italy, where it’s valued for producing wines with a lovely mix of bright fruit and satisfying depth. If you enjoy aromatic whites, this is a variety worth exploring. In the glass, Fiano often shows notes of peach, lemon, pear and hints of fennel or honeyed herbs, making it feel both fresh and gently complex.
One of the great things about Fiano is its versatility. Depending on how it’s made, you may find a crisp, citrus-led style that works beautifully with lighter meals, or a more rounded wine with a touch of warmth and texture. Many Fiano wines have good natural acidity, which helps balance richer flavours such as roasted vegetables, creamy pasta and mild, nutty cheeses.
As you browse, you’ll notice differences between producers and vineyards, but the best bottles tend to share an appealing combination of aroma, mouthfeel and length. Whether you’re choosing a bottle for a weeknight dinner or looking to add something a bit distinctive to your collection, Fiano offers a rewarding tasting experience that’s easy to enjoy.
