Immediately expressive on the nose, with notes of exotic citrus (green bergamot and Amalfi Lemon pith), tons of freshly cut pear and a herbal element reminiscent of fresh hay and hazelnut husk. There’s a gentle waxiness which adds to the texture and fills the mid palate but the elevated acidity and pickled fennel-like freshness lift up the palate nicely. Lovely finish, with a pleasant green almond bitterness which is quintessential Fiano. This is a wine with personality and a strong varietal identity. It definitely exceeds expectations and Hunter Fiano… it really has a nice ring to it!
Born and raised in Naples, Italy, Andrea came to Australia in 2013 after graduating with an environmental science degree. While working as a waiter in between jobs, Andrea found he enjoyed hospitality much more than his previous career during a stint working at MoVida Sydney. After a short apprenticeship at 121 BC, Sydney’s ground-breaking gem for Lo-Fi Italian wines, and a few months with the Lotus Group, Andrea moved to Melbourne and reunited with Movida. He’s been curating the highly regarded Wine List at Movida Melbourne, including one of the country's finest Spanish selections, for the past 3 years while studying for the WSET diploma.
