These vines are the highest of any in Montalcino, some reaching above the DOCG mandated 1,960 feet above sea level. This Fiano comes from Vigna Civitella, and was native fermented with 5 days on skins in stainless prior to 9 months in 660L used French oak barrels.
My Tasting Note:
A light bronze-gold color, vibrant, transparent, the color belies the freshness and chiseled tension in the wine, as a deeper hue can portend a heavier wine. The light skin time adds that color and gives the wine more body (med) and a roundness to the palate, subtle and fine tannins are light. A deep nose with lemon and orange citrus fruit and zests, very mandarin orange, notes of salt and savory add to the complexity. Long on the fresh on the salty and tangy finish, shoudl crush seafood, particularly any that might see breading or a frier! A cerebral white for sure!
The 2018 Civitella Bianco (Fiano) is, at first, quite understated, taking time in the glass to blossom, but that time is well rewarded, as sweet, exotic floral tones amass, giving way to ripe peach, complemented by hints of candied ginger and mulled apples. In contrast to its rich and sweet aromatics, it enters the palate with silky textures yet is completely dry and floral, as flavors of young peach and mango cascade, riding a core of brisk acids. The finish is long and structured, showing just how youthful this Fiano really is, its density of refined fruits on the palate matched by hints of tannin and lingering acids. The Le Ragnaie Civitella needs a few years in the cellar to come together, and once it does, it should be spectacular.
