ABOUT THIS BOTTLE
This savory, elegant white wine from the Alban Hills is an even split between Grechetto and Viognier. Citrus, herbal, and yellow-fruit aromas preview a palate that deftly balances soft fruit and freshness. It’s powerfully fragrant and shows a distinct mineral texture drawn from their vineyards’ volcanic soils. The Fioranello white wines from the esteemed estate, Tenuta di Fiorano, are now made with Grechetto and Viognier grape varieties. This a fragrant, dry white wine with a distinct mineral texture that can only come from the volcanic soils that surround the ancient villa.
