Salento is one of the wine-growing areas in Italy that boasts a long tradition in the production of rose wine , which draws its origin from the ancient "teardrop" winemaking technique dating back to Roman times, which consisted in letting the grapes water in the forum vinarium before the pressing, collecting and vinifying separately the precious flower must that came out.
It is no coincidence that Salento comes from the most famous Italian rosé wine: Leone de Castris' Five Roses , the first rosé to be bottled and marketed in Italy in 1943.
Introduced in the region in the twelfth century by the Angevins, Fiano is the white grape variety that is preparing to become another ambassador of Apulian wine and that in Salento has found a perfect acclimatization, becoming the white grape variety most cultivated together with Chardonnay and autochthonous Verdeca .
Characterized by a good aromaticity , Fiano presents to the nose with a complex bouquet with floral notes of acacia and honeysuckle, enriched with hints of white and tropical fruit, dried fruit and honey. Although supported by a good acidic shoulder, it is soft and persistent on the palate. Excellent as an aperitif, it goes perfectly with fish and seafood dishes .
