2021 Cosa Nostra Fiano
'This was wild fermented in barrel, is full of texture, richness and complexity after three years in bottle, but still has freshness and plenty of life. Shows how well fiano can mature if it’s given the chance, stuck away in your cellar or “forgotten” at the back of your wine fridge.'

Fruit was hand-picked from a single vineyard in the Heathcote region of Victoria. Grapes were whole bunch pressed and left on lees for 6 months to add complexity. Post ferment the wine stayed in 50% old oak and 50% stainless tank (to retain freshness of aromatics) for 4 months. No fining agents used. Single filtration prior to bottling.

Huon Hooke"93 POINTS // #2 of 56 Fianos in Australia. Medium straw-yellow colour, showing some development; spicy fruit and smoked smallgoods aromas combine on the bouquet with some stony mineral touches, and the bottle-age has filled out the palate nicely. It's medium-full bodied and rich, but also very dry, the finish long and cleansing. The savouriness suggests some barrel involvement. A generous, fulsome fiano."
