Vigneti Tardis,
Ready, but will keep,
This intriguing and extremely versatile white is made from a field blend of ancient indigenous aromatic varieties gown in Campania. The result is a golden-coloured, complex wine showing aromas of nectarine, orange peel and white pepper. The palate has an incredible saline character imparted by the vineyard’s close proximity to the Mediterranean coast. White peach and orange blossom are finished with spice and a hint of grip on the finish. A winner with grilled seafood. Drink now to 2020.

Fiano has been cultivated in southern Italy for over two thousand years and its best-known wine is Fiano di Avellino, which is produced in the Campania region, from vines grown on the volcanic hillsides of Avellino, east of Naples. The grape is low yielding and early ripening and produces crisp, well-balanced wines, often with hints of honey and nuts.
Previously Fiano-based wine were often prone to oxidation - however with the advent of modern winemaking techniques the wines are now renowned for their freshness and the best examples can benefit from 2-3 years of bottle ageing.
