Cantele Alticelli Salento Fiano 2011

Salento, Puglia, ItalyBright and fragrant, this fiano shows a nice vein of acidity, more than you might expect coming from the warmth of Salento. A cool ferment in stainless steel helps preserve the crisp orchard fruit, tight white flowers, white honey, green fig, straw and thyme, all on the slick, oily film typical of the grape. Drink now as it's showing it's age - ideally with spring pea risotto or simple sautéed prawns.Tasted: 01 April 2016Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
