Fiano Delivery or Pickup

Fiano is a popular type of white wine made from Fiano grapes. The grapes are light green, and they have broad, heart-shaped leaves. They grow in small, loose bunches, and they have tough skins. Fiano wine usually has between 11-14% alcohol by volume, and it tastes best when served at temperatures between 45°F.

Fiano is popular in southern Italy, particularly in the Campania region and the island of Sicily. Fiano thrives in Italy's volcanic soils, and it can develop a sweet smell that makes it extremely attractive to bees. Its traditional Latin name is Vitis apiana, the vine beloved of bees. Fiano has a long history in the area, and many scholars believe that the ancient Roman wine Apianum was made with Fiano grapes. The name still appears on some bottles of Fiano.

This type of wine was virtually unknown to modern connoisseurs, but people rediscovered it toward the end of the 20th century. Since then, its popularity has increased.

Fiano grapes produce structured white wines that range from medium-bodied to full-bodied. They often have intense floral aromas, fruity or herbal flavors, smoky undertones, and a refreshing acidity. Many Fiano producers allow their wine to ferment in steel tanks. Some grow Fiano among hazelnuts, giving it a subtle nutty flavor. You may also detect notes of pineapple, nutmeg, anise, honeydew melon, orange, pine, pear, and honey.

Terroir, or the quality of the environment where the grapes were grown, is particularly important to Fiano, and it can have a big impact on finished wines. You can find many different types of Fiano when you place an order through Instacart, and they range in style from nutty and rich to taut and minerally. Many Fiano makers ferment the wine with lees, particulates composed of grape skins and dead yeasts that usually sink to the bottoms of containers. These wines have more texture and flavor than wines that were transferred to new containers to remove the lees.

Fiano di Avellino is one of the most popular types of Fiano. The town of Avellino is in the foothills of the Apennine Mountains, and Fiano grapes from the area tend to have more mineral tastes. The region gets plenty of rainfall, and it has many different altitudes and types of soil, adding diversity to Fiano's flavors. Fiano also ages extremely well. It tastes great fresh, and it becomes even sweeter, softer, and more complex as it gets older.

Many Fiano wines come from Australia, where there's plenty of sun, and conditions are similar to those in Italy. Since 2009, Fiano has had its own class at the Australian Alternative Varieties Wine Show (AAVWS). Some producers in Argentina make Fiano wine, as well.
