Surani Pietrariccia Fiano
Surani Primitivo di Manduria 2015 is a finely crafted example of how, even new wineries can create something special. When it’s built on a great history.
Four brothers, (with the family name of Pasqua) left the Puglia region in the 1920’s to start a winery in Verona. 80 years later, the next generation of the Pasqua family bought 80 hectares of land in DOC Manduria. Not only did they create a complete circle of wine making and Puglia heritage. They also brought the artisanal skills of Verona wine making back to Puglia.
Region: Salento IGT
Grape Type: 100% Fiano
ABV: 13%
Soil: Iron rich and fertile soils sit on top of limestone.
Weather conditions:
Puglian wine is the product of a diverse landscape. Half of Italy’s olive oil is produced in the dry heat of Puglia. The warm climate and fertile soil make it easy to grow almost anything. Puglia is surrounded by water on three sides allowing cool breezes off the Mediterranean to moderate vineyard temperatures
Wine making / Ageing:
The harvest is done by hand and starts in the middle of September. The best grapes are selected so that only the healthiest and ripest bunches are sent to the drying rooms where they are laid out in single-layer crates.
The grapes are destemmed and crushed, then fermentation starts, at first at a temperature of 4°- 5°C, which then reaches 22°C in the final stages.
10 days of fermentation in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks. Matured in inox tanks for about 4 months.
Tasting: Surani Pietrariccia Fiano is straw yellow coloured with golden hues, a warm, inviting nose with elegant hints of apple and citrus fruit. Medium-bodied with a well-balanced acidity which gives freshness on the palate.
Food Pairing:
Surani Pietrariccia Fiano is perfectly suited to Cantonese cuisine. It balances well with seafood, shell fish, and poultry dishes. For western foods, this can be a perfect match for Mediterranean influenced foods and pasta dishes.
