The Fiano di L'Archetipo is Fiano di L'ArchetipoFiano Minutolo in purity from a twenty-year-old vineyard of two hectares. We are in Contrada Tafuri, Castellaneta, province of Taranto at 320 meters above sea level, at the foot of the rocky and fascinating Murgia and under the influence of the two seas, Adriatic and Ionian. The Dibenedetto family has undertaken a profound path of research and understanding of nature and the land, starting from the 1980s, which led them to work for 20 years in organic agriculture, then transitioning to biodynamics and further evolving towards abandoning conventional practices, embracing synergistic agriculture. All of this with a primary goal: the revitalization of their lands and the increase of biodiversity, fundamental for the overall health of nature. Even in the cellar, the use of chemicals and technological interventions are kept to a minimum. The grapes of Fiano di L'ArchetipoFiano are crushed and destemmed, then ferment with the help of a pied de cuve with indigenous yeasts; after 6-7 days of maceration with the skins, these are removed and the fermentation continues for about 2 months at low temperatures (13-14°C). Decanting is natural without clarification or subsequent filtrations. Aging is carried out in steel for 5-6 months on the fine lees with batonnage every 15 days.

FIANO L'ARCHETIPO: TASTING NOTES

The Fiano di L'Archetipo is intense straw yellow with greenish hues. It has a nose of flowers, rose tea and magnolia foremost, enriched by hints of flint, aromatic herbs, apple, and citrus. On the palate, it is very fresh, with good structure and a finish lingering on herbs. It pairs beautifully with turbot and oven-baked potatoes!
