Tasting notes
Straw yellow color with fine greenish reflections. The nose reveals a complex bouquet of flowers and fruit, marked by intense aromatic notes typical of the Fiano grape and fresh citrus hints of bergamot. On the palate, it is savory, fresh, and full-bodied, featuring a delicate mineral vein that makes it highly enjoyable with a long finish. A rich and pleasantly drinkable wine with a strong territorial character.
Food pairings
A versatile wine suitable for the entire meal. It pairs exceptionally well with appetizers, seafood, crustaceans, risottos, and fish dishes. It is also excellent when served with medium-aged cheeses.
The producer
Giuliani Vini
Nestled between the sun-baked hills of Turi and Gioia del Colle in Puglia, Azienda Agricola Giuliani has been crafting authentic Apulian wines since 1886. Guided by the philosophy "Amore per la terra, passione per i vini" — love for the land, passion for wine — the estate focuses exclusively on indigenous varieties: Primitivo, Negroamaro, Nero di Troia, Susumaniello, and Fiano. Their flagship Primitivo Gioia del Colle DOC has earned international recognition, including the prestigious Tre Bicchieri award from Gambero Rosso. Every bottle is an expression of a territory, a family, and a way of life that has remained unchanged for generations.
From the estate
- Region
- Gioia Del Colle (BARI) – Puglia
- Soil
- Deep alluvial soil featuring a balanced presence of clay, silt, coarse sand, and fine sand. A high working rate ensures the roots receive necessary refreshment during the hot summer period.
- Harvest
