The 2024 La Guardiense Fiano Sannio is a vibrant southern Italian white wine from Campania’s Sannio region, an area renowned for producing expressive wines from indigenous grape varieties. Made from 100% Fiano, this wine showcases the variety’s natural freshness, aromatic complexity and Mediterranean character, offering an authentic taste of one of Italy’s most exciting white wine regions.
The nose is bright and inviting, revealing aromas of white peach, pear and citrus alongside delicate floral notes and subtle hints of fresh herbs. On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with refreshing acidity and a smooth, balanced texture. Flavours of orchard fruit, lemon zest and gentle mineral nuances carry through to a clean, crisp finish with excellent freshness and persistence.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a fantastic alternative to Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc for those looking to explore Italy’s native grape varieties. Its bright fruit, freshness and versatility make it an excellent match for grilled seafood, calamari, fresh salads, baked fish or antipasto. Best enjoyed young and well chilled over the next 2–4 years while its vibrant fruit and lively character are at their peak.
