Tenuta di Fiorano Fioranello Bianco Lazio IGT 2019
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.
