Summary
Castello Monaci found the Salento region to expand production to include Fiano. Fiano Salento
offers greater freshness and minerality when compared to it’s cousin in Campania further to the
north.
Terroir: The Fiano vines are trained using the guyot system on soils made of clay and limestone.
Vinification: Grapes are typically harvested during the second week of September. Harvest is
carried out at night to avoid exposing the ripe grapes to the heat of the mid-day sun. Grapes are
crushed and macerated for a short time on the skins to encourage further extraction of flavor and
complexity followed by fermentation at low temperature in stainless steel tank. Acante Fiano is
aged “sur-lie” in stainless steel for nine months prior to release.
Total Alcohol: 12.50%
Total Acidity: 6 g/l
Residual Sugar: 3.5 g/l
Vinification
The 2011 Acante Fiano is straw yellow in color with a tropical nose of pear, pineapple and honey.
On the palate the wine is fresh and lively with well balanced notes of fresh fruit and hazelnut.
