Fiano 'Gaia' Cantina Giardino 2021

Cantina Giardino's Fiano "Gaia" is a white wine that stems from this young winery's project aimed at reclaiming old, abandoned vineyards to bring to light a history made up of years of craftsmanship and distant times from which to draw good practices. Vicissitudes that enrich those who want to approach this narrative in liquid form, not only to go deep into time but also to delve into the complexity of taste and aroma of wines like this. Experience with and through wine!

Some Fiano vines reach as much as 100 years of age and stand on a clayey arenaceous type of soil with limestone particles. In the winery, only the craft of wine-making reigns: only wooden barrels, steel and concrete, no technology or use of esoteric techniques. Specifically, with regard to Fiano "Gaia," the grapes, once they reach the winery, undergo maceration in contact with the skins for 4 days and, immediately afterwards, are manually pressed with a press. The fermentation is spontaneous and lasts 3 months on the fine lees in traditional casks. Ageing continues within the same containers, on fine lees, for 12 months. No filtrations, clarifications or additions of sulfur take place.

Fiano "Gaia" fills the glass with a dense straw yellow with no oxidation defects. We are in the presence of a wine that immediately positions itself on the wavelength of the taster's emotions. The nose breathes truth; it is characterizing, vegetal scents of Mediterranean scrub, ash, citrus peel and ripe fruit sensations are perceived. The sip is disruptive, from the vibrant freshness that quenches the palate and the intriguing savoriness. It flows in a straightforward manner, is assertive and with balanced retro-olfactory sensations.
