S.C.PANNELL FIFI FIANO 2025 (New Release)

Finding white varieties suited to the Mediterranean climate has always been one of the greatest challenges and with Fiano that challenge is being met. As one of Italy’s oldest cultivars, Fiano is at home in Campania but can also be found in Basilicata and Sardinia. The proximity to the coast and warm dry summers of these regions bear a striking similarity to McLaren Vale.

Named for Fiona Pannell, known to her friends as Fi Fi and the driving force behind Pannell Enoteca. In Stephen's words, "a wine that gives praise and thanks to the siren song that makes life complete."

Tasting Note

Flavour

Starts with what we’d expect from McLaren Vale Fiano: white nectarine, jasmine tea, pink grapefruit, makrut lime, white currant and elderflower. Unexpected are more exotic aromas
and flavours that appear with air: lemongrass, galangal, honeysuckle and loquat. Another level up in complexity and interest from previous vintages.

Goes With

Such a rarity in our part of the world; a white wine from a warm region, worth drinking. Serve with Saffron tagliolini with spanner crab & zucchini from tipo 00 The Pasta Cookbook (Andreas Papadakis)

Cellaring

Hard to say but the line, length and body tends to a longer life than first suspected. Drink one today and if you can resist save one for 12 months’ time.
