The 2025 Fervor Nonna Diana Fiano is a distinctive and expressive white wine that showcases the potential of this southern Italian variety in Western Australia’s Great Southern region. Named in tribute to family heritage, the wine reflects Fervor’s commitment to exploring alternative Mediterranean varieties that thrive in Australia’s climate. Crafted with a minimal-intervention approach, it highlights Fiano’s natural texture, aromatic complexity and refreshing acidity.
The nose reveals pear, lemon zest and white peach alongside notes of honeysuckle, almond and fresh Mediterranean herbs. The palate is beautifully textured, combining ripe orchard fruit with vibrant acidity and a subtle savoury edge. Hints of citrus peel, roasted nuts and saline minerality add complexity, while the finish is long, dry and elegantly structured. The 2025 vintage delivers excellent balance between richness and freshness, making it both distinctive and highly drinkable.
Ben’s Recommendation:
A wonderfully characterful white that offers something a little different from traditional Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc. Textural, refreshing and incredibly food-friendly, it pairs beautifully with grilled seafood, prawns, roast chicken, Mediterranean dishes and soft cheeses. Enjoy now and over the next 5–7 years while its vibrant fruit, savoury complexity and natural freshness are at their peak.
