First Ridge Uova Bella Fiano Vermentino 2025

An intriguing Mudgee blend here of two emerging Italian varieties, Fiano and Vermentino, which was fermented in an imported terracotta egg. The blend is 60% Fiano and 40% Vermentino. Straw yellow in hue, on the nose we have hints of pears, minerals, peaches, herbs and stone fruit, with just a touch of a dusty gravel note. A supple texture with good length, there is quite a seductive textural aspect to the wine. Good balance throughout, this should drink very well for the next half dozen years. This is their first release of this blend and it is definitely worth seeking out.
